The second video lecture on Bazin's "Evolution of the Language of Cinema." This video examines Bazin's interest in long-take, deep-focus compositions, and why he views these techniques as significant from the perspective of realist film theory.

Films examined include Citizen Kane (Orson Welles), The Best Years of Our Lives (William Wyler), and Roma (Alfonso Cuaron).
