Answer to Question 1

A,

Answer to Question 2

Because movement is almost universally regarded as basic to film art, a
number of directors have experimented with the idea of stasis. In effect, these
filmmakers are deliberately working against the nature of their medium, stripping it
of all but the most essential motions. Such filmmakers as Bresson, Ozu, and Dreyer
have been described as minimalists because their kinetic techniques are so austere and restrained. When virtually nothing seems to be moving in an image, even the slightest
motion can take on enormous significance. In many cases, this stasis is exploited for
symbolic purposes: Lack of motion can suggest spiritual or psychological paralysis,
as in the movies of Antonioni, for example.
