...High school. Don't Be Cruel and Tutti Frutti. Philip Morris cigarettes. Fast times and slow dancing. Rebels without cause. Budapest. (Huh?) It would seem that what Jean-Luc Godard called the Coca-Colonization of Europe made an early conquest of Eastern Europe too, worming not just into jeans but into dreams. The ecstasy of fear flashes on a teen-ager's face as he dares to sass a sadistic teacher, and one can trace the punk-heroic contours of James Dean. Seven years after the Soviet-crushed revolution, Hungarian youths want only to escape...
...through these pages and not feel delight, wonder, surprise and that baser response to creative expression, the acquisitive itch. The examples range from the early photo realism of Eugene Durieu that imitates portrait painting to contemporary collage by Carel Balth that explores puzzling questions of perception. The text by Jean-Luc Daval, lecturer in art history at the University of Geneva, brings both the technique and the aesthetic of this dominant 20th century medium into sharp, tingling focus...
...leaves his 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.

"But not necessarily in that order." In the past two decades, movies have gone Godard's way: end up. Even in Hollywood, structure is now a word you are apt to hear only from Bel Air real estate agents. 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...
...corralled estimable talents from all over the world. Jean-Luc Godard (Breathless, Weekend) came from France, Michael Powell (The Red Shoes, Peeping Tom) from England, experimental Film Maker Scott Bartlett from San Francisco and Hoofer Gene Kelly from the heart of Hollywood. He put three films into production on the Zoetrope lot: Hammett, a surreal murder mystery directed by the German Wim Wenders; The Escape Artist, starring Ryan O'Neal's 16-year-old son Griffin; and One from the Heart. By January, Zoetrope had some 500 employees and a $600,000-a-week payroll. Inevitably, Coppola...
