...Village People's Y.M.C.A. Are these the Winter Olympic Games or a disco inferno? It does make some sense. For this is a country particularly proud of Infernos. Indeed, after the thump-thump-thumping came a reading from the poet-prophet Dante, with the Italian actor Giorgio Albertazzi reciting an inspiring passage from The Divine Comedy. In it, Ulysses urges his aging and tired band of sailors to go on with him to search for new worlds. In a fiery scene, scores of legs kicked in the air evoked the sinners' feet in the Inferno's Canto XX. How unholy...
...does make some sense. For this is Italy, a country particularly proud of infernos. Indeed, after the thump, thump, thumping came a reading from the peninsula's poet-prophet, with the Italian actor Giorgio Albertazzi reciting an inspiring passage from Dante's Divine Comedy. In a fiery scene, scores of legs kicked in the air, evoking the sinners' feet in the Inferno's Canto XX. How unholy is the thrill when you sense that the circles of hell have, in the end, been transformed into the Olympic rings...

King Hamlet's ghost is merely an offstage voice from the collective unconscious, but Freud's ghost has the free run of Elsinore: whenever Hamlet delivers a soliloquy, he takes refuge in a large hole...
...conversation, pistol-shooting. Inside this closed and stifling world, people and things alike seem caught in an enchantment.'' Among the enchanted inhabitants of the palace are a beautiful young woman (Delphine Seyrig), a man (Sacha Pitoeff) who is "perhaps her husband,'' and another man (Giorgio Albertazzi), who pursues her passionately and persuades her finally to go away with...
...this ambiguity which has made L'Annee Derniere the topic of heated second-guessing in Paris since its opening in October. The story involves a woman and a man known only as "A" and "X" (Delphine Seyrig and Giorgio Albertazzi) and a second man, who is probably A's husband, but is identified simply as "M" (Sacha Pitoeff). For ninety-nine minutes, X tries to convince A that they had an affair last year at Marienbad in a plush resort hotel, but A can't seem to remember. Again and again, X corners A in the salons or the Versailles...
