Old Beirut - from the Fairuz Concert Program 1994 These postcards of pictures from old Beirut have been scanned from the lavish program made for Fairuz' concert given at the SaHat el Bourg in the autumn of 1994. The program also has an article about the Place de Canons. Credits will be posted as soon as they are translated. The thumbnails in the panels below correspond to the lists starting in the upper left corner of each group. They will be made to map the correct image as sooon as I have time. The images are in the JPEG format and vary between 100 and 200Kb in size.

Martha does not know Bernard; she never noticed him at the club. When he confronts her silently, she seems to think he wants a rendezvous, and she seems happy to oblige.

But then she is caught by surprise over and over and over in this short scene. Finally she collects her thoughts as best she can in her state of shock, and she gives us a piece of information we never had before. But it makes no sense — it makes no sense at all. Yet she believes it, truly and completely, especially after hearing Bernard’s news. So why does the wrongly accused offer no defense? And now that I’ve pointed out all these clues to you, clues that you probably never noticed even if you’ve seen the movie 20 times, I should confess to you that it was not Tinto’s intention that you pay attention to any of that. Like it or hate it, you’ll almost certainly be compelled to admit that it’s a one-of-a-kind experience.

THE COMMENTARY TRACK. How the movie was received, I don’t know. I was flabbergasted.
