Cannes has been selling flesh and fantasy for a half-century now. In the 22 feature films competing for the 1996 Palme d'Or, to be awarded early this week by a 10-member jury headed by director Francis Ford Coppola, the flesh was on ample display (and with male nudity for once more evident than female, this was the Festival of Many Penises). But the fantasy this year was darker, more disturbing. One of the prime Palme d'Or contenders, Lars von Trier's Breaking the Waves, is a tale of religious and romantic belief, a kind of Song...
...clasp so the photographer could get a picture. As those of us who have tried to put the brakes on air kissing could have warned Clinton, this is not going to stop at $50,000 contributors.

...Weinstein from the book by Judith Guest, "Ordinary People" is not an upbeat story. As a fully sung musical this becomes even more apparent--all the songs follow the same sad format, hardly leaving the audience whistling on its way out. There was a message and some talent on display during the show's two weekends at the Agassiz Theater, but extracting all of it from the monotonously sung dialogue was a challenge...
