...Meyer suffered a similar crise de coeur. In "A clean BREAST!" he acknowledges that his "independent 'limber' X-rated productions seemingly suffered from the increasing threat of hard-core sex, a genre that personally turned the man off." And yet he would not surrender; he would keep making Russ Meyer movies, whether they were trend-setters or reminder items on the nostalgia counter. As he puts it: "the coruscating carnal pile in RM's scrotum refused to be placated . . the continuing need to achieve remaining number...

It freed some state lands for housing development, announced a major slum-razing and rebuilding program, and sliced back the paperwork that now stymies building permits for up to two years...
...street life in Paris is fetchingly evoked. And the fact of death in the midst of life is realized with horrible power in the image of the filthy cancer hidden in the glowing girl. But the film intends to show more than this. It intends to show a crise de I'ãme, "a profound transformation of the being." It doesn't. For one thing, Actress Marchand's face is no more capable of transformation than a kewpie doll's. For another, Director Varda suddenly twists the heroine's harm into a happy ending which...
