Additionally, the film is a love song to spectacle, to all forms of spectacle, including cabaret, opera, musical comedy, dance, to theater, and, of course, film.

The three paintings that I chose from the 19th-century Impressionist are the self-portraits of Pierre Auguste Renoir, and Claude Monet reading a newspaper, and Camille Pissarro's Boulevard Montmartre.
