Sex And The City
This clip, in which Carrie spots her new lover from across the room, is effective for a number of reasons. The location, with the crazy looking woman as the art installation highlights the tenderness and subtlety of Carrie and Aleksandr's first fleeting glances. The music kicks in just as they catch eyes, and the music itself has an air of mystery and a sense of something new, something magical even. This small moment, which contains no dialogue, works to portray this fleeting connection as something more than just a glance across a room.
This is a very interesting clip to post up, if you look closely the music actually starts just before they meet eyes, so we get this lovely sense of anticipation. I'm not a great SITC fan but she does have this wonderful vitality in her which works so well against the stuffy art scene full of moribund silence. Note that both shots of the lovers to be are POVs of the other.
