Proscenium (續:新建築 單字大集合)
proscenium
Y
D
–noun Theater.
1. Also called proscenium arch. the arch that separates a stage from the auditorium. Abbreviation: pros.
2. (formerly) the apron (圍裙,停機,坪臺口) or, esp. in ancient theater, the stage itself.
But now the Ekdahls' frame-filling luxuries are even fuller, their decadence dazzlingly more decadent—the first act's extended Christmas Day pageant and dinner-time festivities become as much about their consumption as ours.
Everything gets an upgrade, from Marik Vos's chic costume design and Anna Asp's sensory-overloading art direction to cinematography legend Sven Nykvist's lush dollies and measured zooms. (All three won Oscars for their work.)
But as the words on Alexander's puppet proscenium [dictate] in the opening shot, "Ei Blot Til Lyst" ("Not for pleasure alone"): The longer running time [fleshes] out motives and [sheds] light on previously unnoticed performances.
Crucial speeches get vocalized, phantoms in the attic literally materialize, and Alexander's imagination is finally set free during a mythic final-act yarn [spun] by his bedside.
Go on, indulge yourself.
