Although she falls into a dipsy blond mode a couple times too often, Arquette is definitely likable and quirkily humorous as Cassie. The transformations her character undergoes in Fool are more natural than those undergone by the ditsy Roberta in Desperately Seeking Susan, perhaps because they represent the growth of a person rather than the alteration of a female archetype...

The Paris shows, held in tents in the courtyard of the Louvre as usual, proceeded in unaccustomed orderliness, with heavier security measures than most international airports and without the playfulness that makes even the silliest presentations tolerable. If la mode were better used to the real world, this might not have mattered so much.

Its painting would try to encompass not just sight but noise, heat and smell; above all, it would depict movement. To fix this industrial mode in Italian (and European) culture, the pastoral mode had to be slaughtered. "Kill the moonlight!" one futurist manifesto exclaimed. Whatever lingered from the 1890s -- symbolism, impressionism, the cults of nuance and nostalgia, of the Arcadian countryside or the introverted personality -- was futurism's enemy...
