...hands of the Swedish tax authorities (TIME, Feb. 16) led to two weeks in a sanitarium and, currently, recuperative retreat on Faro, his island home near Stockholm. Professionally, his movies have been enjoying, at least in America, their greatest popularity: Cries and Whispers, Scenes from a Marriage, The Magic Flute have been much honored and widely attended...
...DOMINANT theme of Inserts is sex and sexual inadequacy as a metaphor for the inability to cope with life in general. The big joke during the film is that The Boy Wonder is sexually impotent: "You couldn't get his rope to rise with a magic flute." The Boy Wonder's manic need to make films is a form of sexual displacement--perhaps it is the need for gratification that drives him to make "five-and-dime films" when he has been forced from "real films."

Nielsen's 1922 quintet for flute, oboe, clarinet, horn and bassoon sought to unveil the individual personality of each wind instrument. In this idyllic piece evoking wild birds and long tree shadows, the flute is very much at home in the forest. The mood quickens, driven by a jazzy oboe, and the clarinet squabbles with the bassoon. The Western Jutland Chamber Ensemble plays with grace, rhythmic drive and a certain sense of mischief...
