...comparison of Les Cousins with Marie-Chantal (you can see it dubbed on TV as The Blue Panther every so often) reveals the latter film ludicrously written in contrast yet wildly more mature stylistically, a riveting blend of calculated camera movement in sensual decor with brilliantly cut sequences of action employing the zoom lens. Far from stagnating in the world of commercial mystery films, Chabrol has emerged the finest new stylist in France, far superior to Truffaut (whose Bride Wore Black pales in comparison), and in many ways surpassing Godard and Resnais...
...fear however that no record can capture their sensual hammering music. At the end of their performance, Rod Stewart said "We're sorry to leave, but we'll come back to play here in September." Forget it fellas. Next time the Jeff Beck Group comes to this country they'll be playing in Los Angeles in a stadium that seats...

...civil rights propaganda (i.e., they had a defined moral and even political message), most everything Dylan writes is seeking, often finding, and brilliantly revealing something that is true. In other words, there is a hierarchy of messages folk singers work with--things ranging from describing a visual and sensual environment to moralizing. You get the idea from listening to all nine of his records in a row that Dylan not only puts Truth at the top of his hierarchy, but also is finding messages that are true as he writes, not having known before he started writing what they were...
