...morbid. Says she: "I merely try to see below the surface of things." As an example she points to Tauromachy (see opposite), in which the sculptress has interposed a preview of destiny between the viewer and the bullfighter enjoying his moment of triumph. Explains Richier: "He killed the bull, but he knows he too is going to die some day." By taking her inspiration from the forms the clay suggests as she works, Germaine Richier has opened the door to subconscious promptings which French critics find "disturbing, irritating, but teeming with life."

As is written on the back of the short dictionary handed out at the door, "Bullfight is more than just a historical film; it is also a complete explanation of the meaning of bull-fighting."

These don't add much, except quantitatively, to the sum of the dining hall aficionado's education...
