...exercise in radical chic. Rather, they are Guston's authentic response to a personal sense of crisis. The trouble is that painting has become a clumsy way of reporting a society as turbulent and racked as this.

At his most original, the director resembles neither film maker nor painter. In his own deep-dimensioned, black and white montages, he seems a sculptor who scrapes his material from the soil of his native land and gives it a cast of permanence...
