Part II. A young boy moves further and further away into a dream world of all-encompassing snow. A private world that is all his own. An existence where no one else can touch him. A secret wall of snow behind which he could hide, inhabit in seclusion. This episode of Rod Serling's Night Gallery, based on the short story by Conrad Aiken, is narrated by the legendary Orson Welles. 1971.

This scene from Claude Lelouch's 1966 film Un homme et une femme (A Man and A Woman) does not merely pay homage to the sensual musicality of the Brazilian samba; it is also a celebration of the love between a man and woman, flashbacks of a lost love. The song, along with the rest of the music that appears in the film, is scored by Baden Powell. The lyrics were penned by Francis Lai, and the song is recorded by Pierre Barrouh. Pierre Barrouh himself is seen in this clip playing opposite Anouk Aimee as her husband.

Ripped from the Casablanca 2-Disc Special Edition DVD (Region 1), this six-minute commentary is infused with much nostalgia, as it features Stephen Bogart (Humphrey Bogart's son) and Pia Lindstrom (Ingrid Bergman's first daughter). I only wonder why Isabella Rossellini was not included in this featurette.

From Cameron Crowe's extended cut. "She danced the dance of Flames and Fire, she danced the dance of swords and spears, she danced the dance of stars and the dance of space, and then she danced the dance of flowers in the wind." - The Wanderer, Khalil Gibran

Life is made up of these moments of stringed consciousness. Each moment is but a bead, and the space in between is the sacred, the divine, the gasp before the orgasm, the invisible thread that draws the sum of your existence and mine together. This magical scene is the reason why I am devoted to this film. Celine's (Julie Delpy) sentiments resonated with me...trulymadlydeeply.
