...Your excellent photo section and thumbnail sketches of the poor don't deserve the blithe conclusions that go with them. No doubt they were written by the same person who provokes our pity by citing the instance of bags of flour delivered by a misguided welfare agency to "a household that has no oven." Come now, biscuits can be baked anywhere there is a fire to cook with. I have made them: over an open fire wrapped around a green stick, on a flat rock under an old auto fender, on a piep an tilted in front...
...primary, Gorey was entering his motel, worn out and ready for bed. "Had your dinner yet?" asked a voice with a now-familiar accent. "At 1 a.m.?" said Gorey. "Of course." Said Kennedy: "Join me anyway." Gorey did. When he crawled out of bed early next morning, the first person he saw was Bobby, briskly walking his dog Freckles.

Whatever emotions Cunningham's audiences feel are entirely in dividual. The same movement or interplay of bodies might engender fear in one person and laughter in another-and that is the way it is meant...
Chabrol's films often begin with a single relationship, then introduce a third person who alters it completely. In The Third Lover, for example, Jacques Charrier jealously destroys the marriage of the writer and his wife; in the immensely complex Champagne Murders, Perkins and Ronet are introduced as inseparable, almost identical companions, but the influence that undermines their relationship remains an unknown until the ending. Always unsure of motive, always aware of an eerie presence that threatens to destroy the eccentric harmony of Chabrol's self-centered trio (Perkins, his wife Furneaux and friend Ronet), we watch spellbound as Chabrol...
