...arrays of irregular patches and ribbons of stained canvas, sewn together with an offhand and improvisatory air, misled some critics into thinking of him as a kind of craftsy '60s bricoleur fiddling with mandalas by the seaside. (The sight of Shields, 6 ft. 4 in., with his shaven bronze dome of a head, nautical beard and Queequeg-like mien, daintily stitching in a studio littered with harpoons and coot decoys, is one of the more striking images of role reversal the art world affords.) In fact, his imagination goes far beyond that: it has a sparkling, lyric quality, which...
...tale with a twist straight out of Charles Dickens. He said the leader of the gang of some 20 young men, ranging in age from 15 to 25, was Spencer Sawyer, 31, a maintenance supervisor. An imposing figure at 6 ft., 230 Ibs., with a full beard and shaven head, Sawyer had formed the nucleus of his gang while coaching a Little League team about seven years ago.

He prefers to "score" drugs on Sunday in order to avoid the novice buyers, known in the trade as johns and marks, who are preyed on by "beat artists," pushers who sell low-quality merchandise at premium prices. "The white high school...
...final and tragic "choice," so that the viewer's reactions parallel Stingo's own. Longer than the conventional flashback, these sequences demonstrate Pakula's scrupulous care in reproducing Styron's tone. An actual concentration camp in Yugoslavia forms the background, and Meryl Streep as Sophie appears with near-shaven head, made up to look perceptibly younger and gabbling fluently in German and Polish...
