“In The Girl Chewing Gum a commanding voice over appears to direct the action in a busy London street. As the instructions become more absurd and fantasised, we realise that the supposed director (not the shot) is fictional; he only describes—not prescribes—the events that take place before him. Smith embraces [narrative] to play word against picture and chance against order.” (A. L. Rees)
