...Letter (incidentally, a horrendous title for a movie billed on Paris marquees as Cher Inconnu) won't face up to the question at its center. It ends with Gilles decision to marry Yvette; we can only guess what Louise, whose loneliness sparked the plot and whose carnal rebirth has been its main feature, will do. Perhaps she continues her quest, and perhaps she resigns herself to spinsterhood, but that--and not the conventional peace that Gilles makes with the world--should be the focus of the film...
...Herald. Though the former First Lady eventually covered the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II, she never quite clicked with the bulky Speed Graphic cameras then favored for news photography. Said Jackie later: "I always forgot to pull out the slide." As Margaret Bourke-White in the film Gandhi, Bergen (Carnal Knowledge, Starting Over) should have had no such difficulties. In 1965 Director Richard Attenborough, 57, (Young Winston, A Bridge Too Far) told her that if he ever managed to make a film biography of the Indian leader, he wanted her to play the part of the star photojournalism Bourke-White...
...actress, who starred in Cousin Cousine (1975) and The Other Side of Midnight (1977): "I have read every possible book on her." In Chanel Solitaire, Pisier portrays the designer from age 18 to 35, exploring her numerous love affairs with men and, as Pisier puts it, "her friendly but carnal relations with women." The film, she adds, "emphasizes the shadows in her life, and the more shadows there are, the more one is able to slip into the character." Along the way, Pisier, the cast and more than 600 extras also slip into 1,500 costumes, all recreated from Chanel...
MARRIED. Candice Bergen, 34, actress and photojournalist who has contributed a cool, poised beauty to such films as The Group and Carnal Knowledge; and Louis Malle, 47, New Wave French film director who has ranged from the sensually lyrical (Pretty Baby, Murmur of the Heart) to the politically provocative (Lacombe, Lucien); she for the first time, he for the second; in Lugagnac, France...
Caligula opens with the portentious pounding of a drum, as a Bible passage about gaining everything but losing one's soul (get it?) appears on the screen in blood red. We then see a cheery young Caligula frolicking in carnal bliss with his sister, Drusilla. But soon, with neither reason nor warning, ambition seizes Caligula. He thinks that his grandfather, the Emperor Tiberius, wants him dead, so he has Tiberius killed and assumes his reign. Caligula thinks he's a god; he says so at least half a dozen times in the long, tedious course of the film...
