...corralled estimable talents from all over the world. Jean-Luc Godard (Breathless, Weekend) came from France, Michael Powell (The Red Shoes, Peeping Tom) from England, experimental Film Maker Scott Bartlett from San Francisco and Hoofer Gene Kelly from the heart of Hollywood. He put three films into production on the Zoetrope lot: Hammett, a surreal murder mystery directed by the German Wim Wenders; The Escape Artist, starring Ryan O'Neal's 16-year-old son Griffin; and One from the Heart. By January, Zoetrope had some 500 employees and a $600,000-a-week payroll. Inevitably, Coppola...

Rushnell, who took over hi May 1978, brags that he cleared out nearly a third of the show's employees, the malcontents...
...this is "a film composed by Jean-Luc Godard." Every Man is shaped in the form of a sonata, with thematic variations expressed through recurring images and lines of dialogue. But this is a ghost sonata, and the specter is that of the old (young) Godard, the director of Breathless and Weekend, who dazzled cinephiles with his visual fecundity and youthful wit. His new film, however confessional, seems clinically detached. Its heartbeat is irregular and indistinct, like signals from a dying star on the other side of the universe.And its message for the human race seems to be: every...
