...typical of Sontag that she would turn a personal preoccupation into an occasion for larger reflections. Her collected work is a map of her consuming passions: the French writer Roland Barthes, the German critic Walter Benjamin, the filmmaker Jean-Luc Godard. (In her spare time, she has directed four films abroad.) All her work aims at defining a vaporous but crucial notion, the modern sensibility. She combines a metropolitan taste, omnivorous and hard to satisfy, with a transatlantic mind, drawn to European writers and filmmakers. Often she discusses them in the European form of fragments and epigrams. "I get impatient...
...Francaise. Inside the front door, Psycho's mummified Mother Bates lurked behind a window. Against the back wall, German expressionism ran riot in a full-scale set from The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari. The museum was like an EKG of a national intelligence that can find value in both Jean-Luc Godard and Jerry Lewis...

Premiere, a movie monthly, also got off to a strong start (circ...

You could cruise the low-rent Film Market and see ads for such films as Assault of the Killer Bimbos, Space Sluts in the Slammer and Surf Nazis Must Die. You could catch Jean-Luc Godard in a typically impish auto-da-fe. This year the Peter Pan of enfants terribles presented a captious, grating version of King Lear, starring both Norman Mailer and Burgess Meredith as Lear and Molly Ringwald as Cordelia. Godard, who later boasted that he had never read the play, seemed...
