...Coppola has done much more than cover Puzo's sloppier tracks. He has managed to pick up the loose stitches and thread together an epic family chronicle, expressing its conflicts with an immediacy and a love for detail of location and character that can only come from the deepest rapport with the subject matter. Comparisons have been made with Gone With the Wind, and snots have sniffed at the melodrama which can't be separated from the tenets of the retold crimes. No matter. There's heart to the work, and it starts to beat when the Don says...
scholarship has replaced the Victorians' sneers with respect and even awe. Mythology, its partisans are now claiming, tells as much about humanity-its deepest fears, sorrows, joys and hopes-as dreams tell about an individual. "Myths are public dreams," says Joseph Campbell, who is probably the world's leading expert on mythology. "Dreams are private myths.

It's a technique Bergman often uses, as John Cassavetes does in Faces. Bathed in blinding white light and shaded in deep shadows...

The deepest purpose of painting has always been to give concrete existence, through color and line, to this universal which appears in contemplation...

Plagued by strikes and absenteeism, industrial production is running 3% lower than last year, while prices are 5% higher. Fiat, the automaker, has placed 8,000 workers on a short week; tiremaking Pirelli is offering workers in the Milan area cash gifts to quit. Zanussi, Italy's biggest electric-appliance manufacturer, plans to lay off 9,420 by year's end. Refrigerator producers reckon that...
