I've missed a lot of the recent ones, but these two are especially
great. With "Noroit," those strange numerical titles (act and scene, if
I remember right) have an amazing effect that you would never guess from
hearing them described: they bracket the whole film in a curiously
powerful way that I can't really account for, emphasizing it as fantasy
theater, showing one how to look at it -- and the titles I think make it
greater than it would be otherwise.
