Several times the women are dressed in the same garish material as the walls before which they stand, so that their bodies appear to disappear and their heads and arms seem to bob like other-worldly banshees in midair. Visual indulgences like these are the delight of Demy, whose Cherbourg is a radioactive collection of tuqouise, yellow, red and lime-green. These colors radiate from the outsides and insides of the buildings and on the clothing of every man, woman, and child who passes on the street.

Last week she finished shooting a film with the Irish director Pat O'Connor, who previously made Circle of Friends. And then there's That...
...with herself and the camera. Her allure can seem a come-on, but she's not a flaunter; she doesn't shake her beauty. And remember, she's only a kid (the credits for Heavy include an acknowledgment to "Miss Tyler's tutors"). Even now she takes an unselfconscious delight in the attention paid to her--in the '90s it's called poise. And that will serve her well if she ever gets into a real movie...
