...jutting jaw (Fellini has filmed him almost entirely in profile). These details resemble those in portraits of the real man. But as usual, Fellini goes further. Sutherland's scalp has been shaved clean for three inches up from the hairline and his eyes lined into a definite slant. The result is a highly stylized, almost Kabuki look that conforms amazingly to a sketch of Casanova drawn by Fellini-who was once a cartoonist -months before he met Sutherland. "Fellini choreographs every move I make," says Sutherland, who had arrived in Rome with Casanova's twelve-volume Memoirs...
...crawl. Here, Costa-Gavras has unwisely strayed from his style. His specialty is the fast-paced, linear form, where events are linked together in some exciting sequence and the movie moves forward by inertia. In Z, first the lingering fate of the seriously injured central figure, then the unexpected slant taken by the prosecutor kept the excitement up. Here, the tension dies long before the prisoners do.

At about the four, a tackler leapt at McInally-- McInally still doesn't know who it was, although he has seen the vide tape replay--and made the stop. The impact broke McInally...
...doesn't pay to get worked up about the sexist slant of Princess Ida because, like any G. and S. operetta, it is, after all, a period piece. And that is exactly how the play is handled in this production--which, thank God, doesn't try to get funny with any embarrassing 20th-century gimmickry. There are plenty of slapstick embellishments, but--from the opening blast of "God Save the Queen" to the fake 19th-century programs, this production remains true to the spirits of Messrs. Gilbert and Sullivan themselves...
