With a Dodgers offense fading, and reduced to just five hits Thursday, they are in great need of Garciaparra's frequent dramatics. He's spent a career conditioning the viewer to scan his images for eerie narrative disruptions, but here uses nuance and detail to arguably greater effect--evoking a sense of menace not through over dramatics but through a tiny cut on the girl's face and an orchid that leers at her from the edge of the frame; desire not through blatant lasciviousness but through a plate of glistening fruit at the woman's hip. Its over-the-top dramatics, acrobatic dancing, and martial displays leave little room for three-dimensional nuance. |
