UNLIKE MANY RECENT American movies, which often leave behind the sour aftertaste of burnt pizza, cute French petit-fours such as Coup de Tete impart no flavor at all. They slide down smoothly, provincial realism and honest emotion buried beneath the sweet, slick icing of a clever plot and anti-bourgeois humor...
...white flour, for example, is superb, making for the best of breads, cakes, pie crusts and blini. Milk, for some reason, is thin and watery, but the sour cream is excellent. Ice cream, rich and smooth, is among the world's best, though vanilla is usually the only flavor available.

This had caused some scientists to offer the chilling thought that the sun is cooling. Reines' explanation: the missing neutrinos may have changed flavor...

Junk sculpture has also been a Western convention for decades, but Edwards invests it with a rough, sinewy power, and his larger piece in the show, Homage to the Poet Léon Gontran Damas, 1978, has an almost majestic aura of open...
