How a Camera Angle Can Create Humor
I stumbled across an absolutely wonderful article this afternoon. Not only is it entertaining on its own, not only is it enlightening as well, but it touches upon several different discussions we've had on All Movie Talk (and one or two still to come).
Anything that spotlights the humor found in single frames of Buster Keaton and the Coens has to be worth reading. But note, in particular, the discussion of the work of Jacques Tati (including the unlabelled frame at the top of the article), a brilliant visual humorist we've not gotten the chance to discuss yet.
