...kind of existential hero himself. It says something about the lack of heroism among U.S. distributors that this gloriously wry and romantic film has taken 27 years to arrive here, especially since Melville did finally achieve international repute as the "father" of the new wave (Godard, Truffaut.et...
...mistress, played by Claudia Cardinale, is a mystical trek through the Peruvian jungle that took four calamitous years out of Director Herzog's life and won him the best director prize. The official competition also boasted new films from Michelangelo Antonioni, Jerzy Sko-limowski and Jean-Luc Godard. Antonioni's Identification of a Woman is hypnotic and erotic, and it earned him the festival's special 35th-anniversary citation. The screenplay prize went to Skoli-mowski for Moonlighting, about four Poles in London building a new home for their boss back in Poland. With the help...
...Period. And that's a broad range of topics. Members of the Ed Board write many of the policies, brass tacks (in-depth discussions of some current problem), and reviews of books, movies, and plays that appear on page 2 of the Crimson. Students who can review the latest Godard extravaganzas will be accepted with open arms. The same goes for those who can unravel the myriad complexities of national politics and institutions. The former are never forced to write politics and the latter needn't ever have seen a play, let alone reviewed one. You just have...
...Movies should have a beginning, a middle and an end," harrumphed French Film Maker Georges Franju at a symposium some years back. "Certainly," replied Jean-Luc Godard.

Adventurous directors snapped the straight spine of traditional drama into a series of vertebral vignettes. The standard comedy structure, which had kept stage and screen humming from Labiche to Lubitsch, gave...
...throwing in a lot of references to Chekov and the Russian dramatic tradition. Then it either slinks back to Novsibirsk or else Pauline Kael then takes a look at it from the loftiness of The New Yorker and proceeds to chat about Eisenstein and the "true" cinematic revolutionaries like Godard. If it's lucky, Stanley Kauffman will give it three stars in the New Republic and slip in a little treatise on censorship. The film is craftily analyzed for corniness; (Hollywood has invariably done it before; these Russians, of course, have had very little art since Stalin's time), foreigness...
