Most Britons see a kind of charm in such raucous give-and-take, but some are beginning to find it a bit too much. The Guardian has called for televising Commons debates in the hope that it "would make some of the bores and exhibitionists think twice," and the Sun last week joined in, arguing that TV "could end the bellowing fatuity of some M.P.s...
...Woman falls somewhere be tween opera and Broadway musical. Adapted from a fairy tale, it is Grimm for grownups, a Rabelaisian romp peopled with a thieving mule driver, an irascible king, a too-wise queen, and a trio of drunken tramps who keep the action crackling along at a raucous, laugh-a-minute pace. The score is uniquely Orff-primitive rhythms and simple, rustic melodies, punctuated with fanfares and percussive outbursts. Orff, 69, Germany's most famed contemporary composer, believes that "melody and speech belong together," and in his Singspiel style he strives for a marriage in which neither...
...film, but the fictional furbelows are trimmed, and some dazzling cinematic doodads added. The camera sees much that Kazantzakis didn't, and the movie is often funnier than the book-Kedrova's minx emeritus, she of the floor-length eyelashes, frequent chins and raucous reminiscences is, for instance, a major comic creation. Zorba, of course, is the heart and soul of the show, and Quinn plays him to hellangone. In his finest frames, at the dominant moments of the drama, he is the fire of life itself, a piece of the sun in the shape...
...city has squeezed skyward for want of horizontal space, but these modern towers lack the airy quality of European cathedrals or New England spires. They strive towards heaven irreligiously. The tone of the city is very Jewish, a bit raucous, and more than a little disappointed in spite of itself. One rarely smells good luck in the bustle, and never fullfillment. But stimulation, hope, excitement, yes, if sometimes of a baleful, hopped-up variety. Manhattan seems often like an exhausted animal on No-Doze, chasing its own tail...
...life jacket, a night table, and the extremities of a stuffed bear (whose sawed-off head nuzzles into a broken goldfish bowl). The human figure, when it appears, seems almost a wry joke. William King, 39, for instance, makes 7-ft. figures out of burlap and metal that are raucous commentaries on the self-pride of mankind. Richard A. Miller, 42, casts a conventional bronze nude. But he does it three times in the exquisite feminine gait clearly following Eadweard Muybridge's sequence photo experiments of the 1880s of a walking nude. Frank Gallo, 31, scoops up plastic like...
