picturization

In the picturization of The Clansman Mr. Griffith has set such a pace it will take a long time before one will come along that can top it in point of production, acting, photography and direction.

Toward the end of the film Nazu rushes into her bedroom, clamps on headphones and listens to the technopoppy "I Wanna Be Free." The picturization shows her moving convulsively, desperately to the funky beat, turning ever more agitated, until we wonder what she wants to be free from: free from her domestic vise, or free from life?
