The film as I know it actually has a little overlap of
Contempt on the Rene Ricard sequence, i.e. Walk Away
Renee ends a little bit before the Ricard bit comes
on, and the Contempt begins as Rene's face flares up
at the end of the camera roll, a moment I've always
found really moving in that film.
As for the 1st and 2nd parts overlapping soundtrack,
my memory is that they don't, but I'm not 100% on
this. The track ("What Becomes...") begins over the
various head leaders, which eventually gives way to
the found footage sequence. I'm reasonably sure the
ending of the song occurs at the end of the found
footage and Rene Ricard's sequence begins more or less
with the Left Banke tune, but I could be wrong.
Can't remember about the kid, but it seems familiar
there's a kid in there too somewhere.
