...costume piece, dedicated to the proposition that upper-class sex in 18th century France was frisky, witty, pretty and piquant. The Young Girls of Roche fort, a disappointing follow-up to Jacques Demy's ethereal The Umbrellas of Cherbourg, is a treacly dollop of banality. But Belle de Jour is Bufiuel...
Spanish Director Luis Bufiuel is 68, deaf and an acknowledged alcoholic; he has claimed that this-his 27th picture-will be his last. True or not, Belle de Jour is a fitting capstone to the curious career of an unpopular but near-legendary film maker whose favorite themes have been anticlericalism, madness, fetishist fantasies and the wilder frontiers of sex. The Belle of this story is the masochistic wife of a successful young Parisian doctor who finds relief from her marital frigidity by working part-time in a whorehouse-not for conventional kicks but for the delicious indignities involved.

...Video Boy" [Jan. 26] prompts me to write to tell you how far-reaching are the influences of "the red and white jour nal." I have for several years been conducting research on a glaucoma-like eye enlargement in birds. A TIME article, "Those Tired Children" [Nov. 6, 1964] prompted me to try subjecting chicks to continuous TV.

This excludes films shown only at the New York Film festival, notably Rosselini's La Prise de Pouvoir de Louis XIV, and films made in 1967 but not yet shown here (Bunuels' Belle de Jour, Godard's La Chinoise). To make things simpler, I eliminate European films made over two years ago but released in New York during 1967. Andrew Sarris has included Bunuels' Exterminating Angel and Renoir's Boudou saved From Drowning on his list; I would also mention Godard's Le Petit Soldat...
Figaro keeps on intimate terms with its status-conscious readers by publishing a column called Le Carnet du Jour, a listing of all the births, marriages and deaths of those who count in French society. "You're not really married if it hasn't been noted in Figaro," is a familiar quip. A 37-year-old boulevardier and gossip columnist named Philippe Bouvard cruises Paris in a Citroen equipped with television and a telephone. As he picks up tips, he phones any of 15 legmen and women to follow them up. "Before, only a name was enough," says...
