...film, a stylized musical set in Las Vegas on Independence Day, recounts the affairs of a junkyard owner (Frederic Forrest) with two women: a travel agent (Teri Garr) and a circus star (Nastassia Kinski). Coppola calls Heart "a lounge operetta, pretty and sweet. I've made too many gangster and soldier movies. I like fantasy and fable-it's a large part of me." It is also a huge part of the film's budget: Dean Tavoularis' dazzling sets cost more than $6 million to build. The film went $11 million over the original budget, shooting...
...peasant dress, with locks tumbling down her back, she was the essence of pouty innocence in Roman Polanski's Tess. Well, take another look, because in Francis Coppola's upcoming musical One from the Heart, set in the Las Vegas world of neon nights, Actress Nastassia Kinski, 20, plays a circus performer with the wily ways of a seductress twice her age. Heart is being billed as "a fantasy about love, jealousy and sex." From the look of things, Nastassia fills the bill...

"Tatum and Ryan are going to be late, so I called Warren, Diane, and Misha," I heard Mick once tell our friend Reggie. "What about Jodie, Sissela, Derek, Archie, Zubin, Roman and Nastassia?"

She makes running a hand through her hair a profound expression of violently contradictory emotions; her quick, reluctant smile exudes poignancy. Physically, she is the perfect realization of Polanski's idea of "provocative beauty." Her full lips suggest a smoldering sensuality, undetectable in those Bambi-esque eyes. Even the tiny scar on her left cheek seems to heighten her beauty, like Gene Tierney's over-bite. The trouble with Kinski is her voice...
...station by family ambition, is ruined by a rascally wastrel and then misunderstood by the prig to whom she gives her heart. Everyone the director sets to moving through Wessex clumps along very slowly, weighed down by the invisible chains of Hardy's famous Fate. His leading lady, Nastassia Kinski, a truly beautiful young woman (see last year's Stay As You Are), is further burdened by her attempt to speak with an authentic West Country accent. She does all right considering that she is German, but the effort seems to slow her speech. Or maybe...
