...hyperkinetic nerdiness was irresistible to millions of children. Pee-wee Herman was a grownup version of little brother: winsome, goofy, capable of saying dumb things and beatifically happy with the panorama of this world. When Pee-wee talked to inanimate objects, like chairs, they talked back, which, as everyone under 10 knows, is just what they are supposed to do. This man-boy with the tight suit, googly eyes and lipsticked mouth was not every parent's cup of tea: add a leer and the little guy could pass for the emcee of a Berlin nightclub, circa...
Pity the Soviet visitor to the U.S. who is unbriefed on local customs. But Panorama, a Moscow newspaper, offers these pointers...

...crossed with The Big Chill. Also a soap opera, a horror movie and a how-to manual on coping with catastrophe. On a small budget, writer Craig Lucas and director Norman Rene (who teamed just as productively on the Broadway comedy Prelude to a Kiss) have created a beguiling panorama. It spans the '80s, a decade that, for gay men and those who love them, took a fatal tailspin from high camp to tragedy. The film is a juggling act -- of characters, attitudes and moods -- that never loses it balance...
