Even so, if Communist negotiators are true to form, the weeks and months to come will bring well-rehearsed tantrums and tirades, dramatic walkouts and magnanimous walkins, endless impasses and?perhaps?sudden breakthroughs.

In any case, there is yet no evidence that the Sack Theatres will be adventurous enough to capture films which are either stylistically or thematically inventive.
