In girum imus nocte et consumimur igni (film soundtrack)

 The movie-going public, which has never been very bourgeois and which is scarcely any longer working-class, is now recruited almost entirely from a single social stratum, though one that has been considerably enlarged — the stratum of low-level skilled employees in the various “service” occupations that are so necessary to the present production system: management, control, maintenance, research, teaching, propaganda, entertainment, and pseudocritique. Which suffices to give an idea of what they are. This public that still goes to the movies also, of course, includes the young of the same breed who are merely at the apprenticeship stage for one or another of these functions.

Isaac Bashevis Singer (Radzymin, 14 luglio 1904 – Miami, 24 luglio 1991) è stato uno scrittore polacco, naturalizzato statunitense, autore di lingua yiddish, premio Nobel per la letteratura nel 1978.

In tutta la comunità ebraica di Manhattan (ritratta dal fotografo Bruce Davidson) aleggia il drammatico ricordo dello sterminio, degli orrori che si portano appresso senza privilegio. Come scrisse Singer “Tutta la nostra storia è un unico immenso pogrom, dall’Egitto fino a ora.”
