Some examples are CITY OF GOLD and THE CIVIL WAR, composed solely of still images, MAN WITH THE MOVIE CAMERA and BLOW-UP, in which still images play a major diegetic role. My student and I would appreciate suggestions of other examples. -Henry Breitrose Department of Communication Stanford University >> The opening of Days of Heaven uses stills to set the mood of the film and I believe that Nester Almendros (sic?) wrote about the use of them in his book and how important they were to Malick.
