If you've been watching
the Bresson retroat The Belcourt, or if you saw
Chuck Stephens' talk last week about L'argent, you're familiar with the importance of hands as a motif throughout the French director's work, whether they're snatching wallets, passing bills, or scraping away at a last-ditch escape effort. Leave it to Nashville artist Sam Smith not just to pick up on the significance of this symbol but to make it the focal point of
