...Godard's Masculin-Feminine in discussing the making of movies, some very elementary metaphysics, and the old illusion-vs.-reality bit. I didn't like it, but that's between me and my generally perverse taste; at least it was the film Parker wanted to make, plainly personal and chock full of substance.

The themes that concern him are loneliness, racialism, death and youth. Lunch shows people packed closely at a Chock Full O'Nuts-style counter, munching in their respective dream worlds. Landscape with Figures shows haggard young people crouched in a huge honeycomb, and is "my way of protesting the situation kids are in now. I feel sorry for them with the draft, the pressures to conform...
Slightly larger than the Digest in size, Sputnik contains many pages of color reproductions. The monthly is also chock full of advertisements for Soviet products ranging from caviar to hand-woven rugs to Moskvich automobiles, and it welcomes advertising from abroad.
