...French Director Bertrand Tavernier: "In countries like the Philippines, Brazil, Chile, Poland and the U.S.S.R., no committee is going to nominate a film that threatens the status quo." Further, the Academy's one-film-per- country restriction penalizes nations with thriving film industries. U.S. Screenwriter David Newman (Bonnie and Clyde) asks, "Why can't Academy members vote for three French and two German films if they happen to be the best? Foreign films should be selected on the same basis as the others: quality." Tavernier blames the rule on the "protectionism and provincialism" of Hollywood...
...Girl. Keaton and Australian Director Gillian Armstrong (My Brilliant Career) might seem to make a good protofeminist match, but the results are dour and disappointing. The film's strongest suit--Russell Boyd's sepulchrally seductive cinematography--ironicall y seals its doom. Mrs. Soffel (rhymes with woeful) is Bonnie and Clyde with the emotional lights turned down, Tristan und Isolde without the saving soaring music...

...rolling scrub and farmland is still and dark. Dawn, when it comes, tinges the land red before a hot, white sun climbs in the sky, turning the dew to vapor that rises from the surface of the plain. This heartland, thousands of square miles, is central Texas. Bonnie and Clyde rampaged through the territory. Sam Bass, the outlaw, was gunned down in Round Rock, not far from the Santa Fe railroad. Today, Interstate 35 passes small and medium-size towns, ranches and farms. Huge trucks rumble into dusty, chalk-white depots to load crushed rock from local quarries. At intervals...
...result of this skepticism, the group's actions sometimes took on an ironic tone. In the middle of last year, on March 23, the group presented President Bok with the first C. Clyde Fergusen Award, "for-extraordinary effort, and significant contribution toward enchanting the diversity of the students, faculty and staff of Harvard University." President Bok responded, "I accept the award in a very different spirit--as a recognition that we have made some serious effort in pursuit of equality and diversity, as a sign that you have not abandoned hope in what we can do, and most...
