...imposing climax to Krzysztof Kieslowki's "Three Colors" trilogy. Well, the critics may have seen all three films, but the Jury members hadn't. They and their President, Clint Eastwood, shut out Red and handed the Palme to a film the press savants hadn't even considered: Pulp Fiction. Proving again, that in Cannes, the more you know, the more you don't know...
...opening of a May film festival triggers a renewal of faith in film. Optimism surges with the spring; hope springs vernal. This is where the seeds are planted in a garden of film that will bloom for the rest of the year. This is where Pulp Fiction, L.A.

The inevitable legacy of almost everyone doing pretty much anything he wished is a huge environmental mess, from the copper mines of Butte, where the water table is thick with heavy metals, to the asbestos mines of Libby, where laborers are dying in large numbers from chronic respiratory ailments. No wonder Montanans legalized medical marijuana last fall. The stuff is said to ease...
