...naive directness. True, Rosenquist could not be less interested in the literary and sexual side of surrealism, but the way disconnected images have always floated together in his work (the duck's head, tire tread and huge cropped face in Silver Skies, 1962; the immense rashers of bacon, their fat glistening among the stars, in Star Thief ) does not come only from America...
...York run at the Metropolitan Opera House was mostly unsatisfactory, and a good part of the problem lies with Nureyev. The trouble began with his recension of Swan Lake, which was silly and eccentric and, worst of all, skewed to provide a fat role for the aging, painfully stiff company director.

He's too adaptable, too accepting of his fate to live up to the Lear-esque expectations he creates. But expectations aside, Hoskins' performance is so human, so natural, so believable, that it makes this otherwise unspectacular film very much worth seeing...
