Can anyone refer me to an example in print? As others have noted, "MTV style" is a lazy description of anything that employs quick edits (oh, yes, and chicks and fire, as Beavis would note). But ELIZABETH's style probably owes as much or more to Indian film influences (especially given that the director is Indian himself). (And I rather wonder that the Catholic Church hasn't bridled more at the portrayal of Bloody Mary and the Pope himself!)
