The configuration of a scene. I might begin a collection of these.
Observed in Newtown.
A man in his thirties carrying a little girl's schoolcase. He's pounding along, glowering, head pulled back into shoulders. Three metres behind him is the little girl, skipping along, letting Dad carry the schoolcase, and singing, 'I'M not going to TELL you ANY more about MUM anymore.'
The French, I've read, love mise-en-scene, the configuration of the scene. I sometimes think the tendrils leading from one scene to the next could be stronger in their films. But doesn't this little moment hint at quite a lot in the domestic situations (plural)?
