William Kentridge

Saw an animation in charcoal by William Kentridge. No words, just ominous then exotic music. A man in a business suit sits in a recliner on the beach (the recurring character Soho Eckstein) reads tide charts in the newspaper while the natives of the beach resort carry out funeral rites. They are monitored by three generals with binoculars who move in synch and can only be known through the reflections of the tide in their binocular lenses.
