Sadat bore with fortitude the loneliness that is inseparable from moving the world from familiar categories toward where it has never been. He raised our gaze toward heretofore unimaginable horizons. And when he had transformed the paradox and solved the riddle, he was killed by the apostles of the ordinary, the fearful, the merchants of the ritualistic whom he shamed by being at once out of scale and impervious to their meanness of spirit...
...Verdi's Otello. To be fair, Bergman usually knows how cliched his situations are, and he often satirizes them in clever ways. In a typical over-melodramatic sequence, for example, handsome Bob Fine (O'Neal) meets and falls in love with the voluptuous and married Lira (Mariangela Melato).

Small wonder that Traversi failed to get the big commissions; but his work stays in the mind long after the more decorative things in this show, the chalky allegories of the arts, the fêtes champêtres and royal hunting scenes, have...
