...muzak noises would not be so awful except that Weir repeatedly splices between them Albinoni's dirge-like Adagio in G minor to signify CRITICAL MOMENTS and IMPENDING FATE. The fault lies not in the adagio, which is a fine piece of music, but its repeated use as a cue is silly and melodramatic. Yet, it is by no means a fatal flaw. To ruin Gallipoli would take something more along the order of Waltzing Mathilda for 110 minutes...
...left-wing student pressure to reduce the influence of the all-too-powerful coterie of the Dean and his advisors. Administrators, anxious to restore calm to campus, decided upon a system with the council and Faculty on top and student-faculty bodies like the Committee on Undergraduate Education (CUE) and the Committee on Houses and Undergraduate Life (CHUL)--a set-up likely to be effective in muffling protest while being not overly conciliatory to student demands...

No surprise here: Antonioni is the man who made aleatory music out of monotone in L'Avventura. But there is feeling aplenty conveyed through the vibrant orchestration of color. Each character is given his own "aura"-a kind of placenta of color that indicates his passion or humor. And every time the queen's mood changes, her surroundings change too, like...
