Subject: Slo Mo History
 
May I take the liberty of expanding this discussion just a bit and ask if
anyone can come up with the EARLIEST examples of slow motion in narrative
cinema?  In _A Certain Tendency of the Hollywood Cinema_, Robert Ray traces it
back to _Zero For Conduct_ (1933), but I think we might also give Bunuel credit
for a bit of slo mo in _Un Chien andalou_.  Anything else?
