...these actresses seem not to interest Scorsese for their contribution to the cinematic life force - only as incidental expressions of the films' matter and manner. Loren, for instance: he zips past her to concentrate on the delectable comic turn by Paolo Stoppa. Scorsese is more taken by the light playing on Valli's face than the face itself; on the textures of Monica Vitti's hair, in the crystalline monochrome of "L'Avventura," than on the subtlety with which Vitti reveals a wounded soul through huge, blank eyes. In all Scorsese's reveries of a boyhood falling in love with...
...make Murdoch hungry for a fight. THE BOURSE Buy Buy Britney German group Bertelsmann is paying about $3 billion for Zomba Music. The label, which owns acts like Britney Spears, exercised a "put" option that forced Bertelsmann to buy. Jacking Up Fiat Signaling major restructuring ahead, Fiat CEO Paolo Cantarella resigned. He was replaced by Paolo Fresco, who learned his management style under Jack Welch at General Electric. No Trade Is An Island Instinet, a unit of British media group Reuters, will buy rival electronic-trading firm Island for $508 million in stock. The deal combines NASDAQ's two biggest...
...what became known as the Maxi-Trials in the mid-1980s, Sicilian prosecutors tried hundreds of Mafia suspects en masse for crimes ranging from murder to criminal association. The sweeping strategy hit Cosa Nostra in the trenches, marking a critical victory for such crusading magistrates as Giovanni Falcone and Paolo Borsellino. It was also great theater. Crammed together into a custom-made, bunker-like courtroom, the accused seemed straight from a Hollywood casting call for Mob thugs: often unshaven, sweaty and in short-sleeved leisure shirts, the Mafia men pointed fingers and hollered threats from inside steel cages that ringed...
...retired railroad worker Mario Governari says just that. "No, no!," he exclaims, waving off the question with his hand. "There's no Mafia in Corleone any more. There are just good kids here." Among the "kids" living nearby are the two grown sons of Bernardo Provenzano - Angelo, 26, and Paolo, 21 - who returned with their mother, Saveria, just a month before Falcone was killed in 1992. They haven't followed in their father's footsteps. Each son has attended university, and the family insists that they just want to be left alone to run their dry-cleaning business. "The Mafia...
...Reading "Stripburek" gives the impression that the Iron Curtain resulted in a kind of comix Galapagos where the avant-garde, poetical and parable possibilities of comix evolved in unexploited splendor. Danijel Zezelj's "Petrified Tree" uses high-contrast, slashing brushwork to interpret a poem by Pier Paolo Pasolini. Lucie Markvartova's "Switch On-Off" builds a story out of all the buttons a finger must push throughout the day. Many pieces are like Wostok and Grabowski's fantastical "Daddy Where Are You," about a little girl who follows Daddy's beard through all manner of obstacles only to find...
