...music on this disc, like ancient Gaul, is easily divided into three separate parts, although they have been craftily interwoven by those folks at Island Records. First, and beyond criticism, are four great songs roughly from the period when the movie is set: "Voodoo Child" by Jimi Hendrix, "A Dedicated Follower of Fashion" by the Kinks, "Is This Love" by Bob Marley, and "Whiskey In A Jar" by Thin Lizzy. These songs are just fantastic, though you probably don't need this disc to listen to them, and it doesn't particularly add to their brilliance to hear them together...
...audience member who has sat through what feels like three hours of urban despair, albeit interwoven with homilies and hopes, that statement is startling. It is also a reminder of the real message of A Christmas Carol, in any form: Look at the forgotten and see them whole...

The house was usually a one-room hut built of interwoven poles covered with dried mud. Meals of corn, squash and beans, supplemented with the occasional turkey or rabbit, were probably eaten...
...other national pavilions, the best is the American one, showing sculpture by Louise Bourgeois. Now 81 and at the top of her form, Bourgeois is the chief heiress of Surrealist obsession in America.

Included in the Venice show are some of her recent cage sculptures, including Cell (Choisy), a harsh essay on memory: inside an iron-mesh enclosure is a pink marble effigy of her childhood home in France, where...
...nothing makes it more modern than psychology. Playwright Craig Lucas (Prelude to a Kiss) and composer Gerald Busby fuse the two in ORPHEUS IN LOVE, an off- Broadway retelling of the Orpheus legend -- mingling hints of Oedipus -- in which the characters are music teachers or pupils and hell is interwoven with high school. The sound, too, (by a string quartet, piano and two bassoons) - hovers between melodic-traditional and staccato-modern. Kirsten Sanderson's witty staging deftly evokes dreams -- their fleeting lyricism, transposed logic, sexual ambiguity and poignant blend of chagrin and nostalgia...
