Rictus, Waiting

More than twenty years ago I began to be interested in the earliest Lumière films. Initially this interest had to do with the way in which space can be articulated in the cinema, because a great deal of what those films display has to do with transformations of space. At the same time I found myself, unavoidably it seemed, asking what the Lumière audiences had seen when they first looked at the screen.
