...more moving case first, is a widower, standing on the cusp of old age, living on his late wife's money on a ranch somewhere in Bunuel country. He reads, plays chess against a computer, vigorously conducts the music he plays on his hifi. Sometimes he visits his mistress in Salamanca, more frequently he calls on his only friend, a priest, to chide him with anticlerical chat. He has become less worldly than the good father, and easy prey for Goyita, a 13-year-old schoolgirl (Ana Torrent of Cria), an instinctive siren who senses in him, despite their...

Fitzcarraldo, which stars Klaus Kinski as an Irish rubber baron who leaves his mistress, played by Claudia Cardinale, is a mystical trek through the Peruvian jungle that took four calamitous years out of Director Herzog's life and won him the best director prize. The official competition also boasted new films from Michelangelo Antonioni, Jerzy Sko-limowski and Jean-Luc Godard. Antonioni's Identification of a Woman is hypnotic and erotic, and it earned him the festival's special 35th-anniversary citation...
