Let's do some watchin.
Watch this scene from Vittorio Di Sica's 1948 film The Bicycle Thief and watch closely for elements of mise en scene. Ask yourself: why did he set it up this way? Why does Di Sica put the things in his shots that he does (eg the band, the background people)? Not all of the answers are groundbreaking film theory hypothesis, but watch closely. You'll be suprised with yourself.

Hoping your watching the Oscars! I wish I had asked about your prediction. Darn, well maybe your critique will have to do:)
