Dr. Strangelove:
- source novel: Red Alert
- real-time presentation, "temporal compression"
- - example: General Turgidson & his secretary
- long take
- - example: Mandrake & Ripper
mixture of "lunacy and farce" with "reality of presentation"
- confinement, limitation
- cutting between impenetrable spaces
- cutting away before actions are completed: "repeated suspensions or delays of narrative progress"
- credit sequence
- interior of B-52
- Pentagon War Room
effectiveness of farce and social critique depends on realism of presentation "on all levels"
