Camus could have done the same thing in Bahia, his sixth film since Orpheus. Like Orpheus, Bahia takes a rather simple story, sets it in Brazil with beautiful camerawork, music and color. But the main story is a comedy, ending in marriage instead of death; it is complicated by subplots, colorful but distracting; and its climax does not have the heart-wrenching power of the Orpheus myth. In the end, Bahia is a very pretty, very joyous movie, but it is not a masterpiece...
...about Lelouch's refusal to overdramatize the moral questions that he is examining. Yet in the end this hurts the film dramatically. There really is more here than meets the eye of this light-minded romantic, with his strongly developed taste for period décor and graceful camerawork. One may be a trifle tired of films and books that pore over the sorrow and the pity of how people behaved during the German Occupation. But we are probably not yet ready for something that too often verges on the bouncy in dealing with an inescapably tragic era. There...
Margaret Trudeau was ready; ABC-TV was willing. So the aspiring photojournalist, newly separated from Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau, is scheduled to appear this Wednesday on the network's Good Morning, America show to display her camerawork. Margaret is casting about for employment in Manhattan; her Good Morning appearance will be a one-time affair-at least for the time being. To hire her regularly, ABC would have to prove that Margaret's talents are unique and that she is not taking a job from an American...
With beautiful camerawork, It's Raining shows how the well-trained, well-equipped army moved in against the regime, how its tanks and machine guns crushed any opposition U.P. supporters could raise. That summer, the largely Christian Democrat parliament had permitted the army to collect most of the arms of the civilian population, leaving the militants nothing but makeshift tools with which to resist. True to the actual history, Soto spares the audience none of the horror of a poorly-armed struggle against the tanks--he shows the militants' optimism and then their defeat, in the same unyielding detail...
...their search for a stolen bicycle--only the glow I was left with as I left the theater. Perhaps I'm getting my genres crossed, but this movie would seem to fall under the heading of "Italian realist film;" at any rate, the scenery is all real, the camerawork is underplayed and the construction is perfectly scaled. Charming may be the best adjective. But this is all far too vague for such a touchingly accessible film, so make a point of seeing it for yourself...
