...emerging new breed of Roman Catholic militants, the Jacques Maritain Circle (named after the French philosopher) arranged a memorial mass in Che's honor last February, and Catholic services for him have been held in several other countries. In Brazil, mythmakers have circulated thousands of copies of a photograph of the dead Che captioned "A Saint of Our Time." Italian students have christened him Angela della Pace-"Angel of Peace...
...actually no stranger at all, but a sloppy copy of such Italian oaters as A Fistful of Dollars and The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. Since the Dollar films were imitation B westerns that copied good westerns, the effect on viewers of Stranger will be like seeing a photograph of a painting of a shadow of a statue...

His camera stops things that we probably wouldn't see: two boys, one sunning his face with a reflecter, and a hotel on the beach. And he uses the camera to stop simple, clearly defined portraits so we can study them--a tree in a field, a man reading the paper on his bed. Some of his work is so abstract, however, that he has to draw...
