...WORK hyped as a "degenerate film with dignity" might be expected to lack that very quality. And a work which insistently echoes the tritest of cliches--"Nothing pure, old, sport, is ever that simple," or "Do you continue or vanish into the mists of self?"--would seem to be courting ridicule and criticism.

Nor, it turns out, does their late-arriving teacher, Debbie Wastba (Diane Keaton), have anything but pantomime and a feverish determination to fall back upon as she goes about her unfamiliar duties...
...sheering off. He writes in 1803, the year of his Royal Academy debut: "I have been running after pictures and seeking the truth at second hand . . I shall shortly return to Bergholt where I shall make some laborious studies from nature - and I shall endeavour to get a pure and unaffected representation of the scenes...
