UNIDENTIFIED HUMAN REMAINS AND THE TRUE NATURE OF LOVE. Neither AIDS nor a serial killer can deflect the sexual searching of the young men and women in this punk-poetic, MTV-style thriller, full of quick verbal riffs and crosscut scenes, transferred from a Chicago hit to off-Broadway with stellar acting by hollow-smiled Clark Gregg...
...camera on anything-a galloping horse, a firing cannon, a storm-tossed boat-thereby forcing emotional involvement with what otherwise might have been mere tableaux. His tour de force is a sequence in which the pitching of Napoleon's boat as he escapes his Corsican political enemies is crosscut with scenes of riotous action in the Paris Assembly in which the camera is made to rock as it does when it is on the ocean. Gance's experiments with quick-cut editing-split-screening, double-printing, creating images that register almost subliminally-prefigure a style that has only...

The chief of staff, handsome, greying General Bambang Sugeng, has had no military training. Many of the army's seven territorial commanders operate, in fact, as private warlords, some in almost outright rebellion. The worst of the army's difficulties, however, can be traced directly to Defense Minister Iwa Kusumasumantri, a bull-necked Marxist of 55, who professes not to be a Communist, though as a young man he went to meetings...
