...hour, for instance, just for the services of Star Model Isabella Rossellini), and arguing costs about $50 a word. So Nick LaMicela, the project's art director, has selected a quiet country road, with no palm trees to spoil the illusion of France. Somebody has found a French cowherd. Actually he is a Puerto Rican waiter, but in beret, smock and scarf, and with rouge on his round cheeks to suggest a history of drinking wine for breakfast, he looks as French as Pierre...
...obviously paired with a lover. Such a wild flower, as LaMicela explains with a poet's shy pride, might ride her bicycle alone down a country road some misty afternoon. She might glide round a bend, only to find the road blocked by a herd of cows. The cowherd, struck by her beauty, might shoo his beasts away, and she, touched by his courtesy, might hand him a flower from a bouquet she had gathered.

...playlet. As she waits at rest for the camera to roll, her resemblance to her mother, Actress Ingrid Bergman, is powerfully clear: the wide cheekbones, the astonishing directness, the serene impression of physical and moral strength.

This is the landscape of touch. In Hadleigh Castle, c. 1829-a gloomy ruin at the mouth of the Thames, painted around the time of his wife's death from consumption-Constable's tactility reaches its extreme.

Outer Limits. Tetley's vision is not literary but psychological, vital and sexual. Absent is the usual dance contest between Daphnis and the cowherd Dorkon, danced by Reid Anderson, for the reward of Chloë's kiss. The veil dance of Lykanion, the Grecian Salome, is gone too. Instead, German-born Ballerina Birgit Keil slithers into a hot pas de deux with Cragun, whose ardent body is counterpointed by his gentle face. Through her mellifluous movement, Haydée conveys a Chloë too ripe to be altogether innocent...
