...Birthday Party opens with a typical breakfast for the Boleses, mild-mannered Petey (Joseph A. Nuccio '00) and effusive Meg (Erica Rabbit '00). All's more or less cornflakes and skittles, even for the laterising nowhere-man boarder Stanley Webber (Dominic Doyle), until two visitors arrive. Up to no good, these two, Goldberg (Jonathon Heawood) and flunky McCann (Henry Clarke '00), apparently have some history they'd like to clear up with dear Stanley--exactly what, we don't know...

Jude, a careful, finally powerful film adapted by Hossein Amini and directed by Michael Winterbottom, places its hero and heroine in the context of a society that rejects their mild bohemianism. Jude (Christopher Eccleston) studies for the sheer pleasure of the text; Sue (Kate Winslet) flaunts her agnosticism and struts in bars, turning a cigarette into a smokestack (a gesture used so well in Francois Truffaut's Jules and Jim, the classic film about the perils of loving a liberated woman). They are also the modern homeless: their evictions from "decent" homes set up an atrocity that still shocks...
