Enter romantic possibility--or, in a coming-of-middle-age tale like this, inevitability--in the lank person of Walker Jerome (Viggo Mortensen), a peddler they call "the blouse man." While the others watch Neil Armstrong walk on the moon, Pearl is in the back of the blouse man's truck becoming a giddy, blossoming girl again. A few weeks later, she goes with him to Woodstock, gets baptized in Day-Glo body paint and is spotted by a horrified Alison. My mother--the hippie whore...
Though this film's Van Helsing (lank, loopy Peter Fonda) sleeps inside a grand piano, Nadja is a fairly close reading of the Stoker tale. What distinguishes it is its serenely mannerist glamour. Almereyda shot parts in glorious "Pixelvision"--with a toy camera that gives the most garish images the patina of a dreamscape. Nadja is beyond a midnight movie; it's a late late show for the artistic couch potato...
...venerable Halla Orchestra in Manchester, England; and associate principal guest conductor of the London Symphony Orchestra. As flamboyant on the podium as his mentor Seiji Ozawa but far more probing and analytical, Nagano wields his baton with the alan of a lion tamer cracking a whip.

Dennis Muren, senior visual-effects supervisor at ILM, has become a familiar figure on Oscar night, both because this was his seventh Academy Award and because he is a towering gent with lank white hair and a serene face.

In the bland ILM barracks in San Rafael, Calif., he and his merry alchemists wave a little wand over their Silicon Graphics VGX 340 terminals, and out comes the magic...
Close up, offscreen, Depardieu gives you the charm and the power. The man can swagger sitting down. His lank hair, which looks as if he swiped it from a schoolgirl who has played hooky all year long, frames a huge face -- bulbous nose and ship-prow chin dominating the small, lively eyes. Devouring a steak over lunch at the swank George V hotel in Paris, he cascades opinions on any subject, from Dostoyevsky to David Letterman, punctuating his effusions with grand, intense gestures. When a waitress arrives to pour the St. Pourcain, Depardieu proffers the larger of his two stem...
