...Coup de Foudre, French Film Maker Diane Kurys (Peppermint Soda) etched an acute, critical portrait of her own family in the early 1950s and drew splendid performances from Miou-Miou, Isabelle Huppert and Guy Marchand. Chantal Akerman, a Belgian director whose monumental minimalist soap opera, the 1975 Jeanne Dielman, has made her queen of the European film avantgarde, confounded all expectations with a sprightly, witty musical called The '80s.

In this state, Carl bemoans the fact that he has "lost the fork," meaning the fork in the road of life's choices...
...Annie as she tries to hold a mirror up to her troubled heart. Streep's alabaster features can convey icy disdain and mock merriment. Her voice is a bed of nails on which she some times lies in self-contempt. As Ruth, Dewhurst was a Rock of Gibraltar.
