...range. Also, she may be gambling with her voice's future by singing taxing roles at such an early age. Still, such all-or-nothing assaults on the heights are in the spirit of Callas' own career, and the older soprano may have been acknowledging the kinship when she tried to quiet the boos at Carnegie Hall by shouting the Greek word for "good": "Kalla! Kalla! Kalla...
Director Penn treats with matter-of-factness a situation in which two people can be deeply in love, worry about the health of an aged mother, feel the responsibility of kinship and yet find no moral context for the idea of murder. The law for Bonnie and Clyde is merely the agent of a hostile universe.

In the Water Lilies, Monet produced a rhapsodic mood of ethereal spacelessness by painting abstract surfaces in which continuously changing relationships of form and color exist for themselves, in spite of some vestigial remains of subject-matter. The rich, almost voluptuous, color of the Louis paintings and the organic growth of the forms have more in common with Art Nouveau. Gauguin's rich palette and his gently curving patterns immediately come to mind. Louis' forms also suggest some affinity...
