...much determination as they did--and more power. We should not rejoice merely at the sight of the oppressed besting the oppressors: for the full impact of the struggle for women's rights to hit home, we must understand that the determination which led the women to triumph sprang not simply from their frustration and anger, but from the faith that their position was, and is, right. Frustration led them to dynamite the Chancellor's mansion, burn theaters, and riot, but it was a moral frustration and not just an animal...
...Dinh had been the operations bases for the NLF battalions attacking Saigon during the 1968 Tet offensive. U.S. fire had leveled both districts in the counter-attacks. We had burned out villages and shot women and children and then built orphanages for the orphans we had made. Only whorehouses sprang up as fast as orphanages during...
EVER SINCE EVE sprang, as we are told, from Adam's rib, the nature of female sexuality has been a subject of profound puzzlement. Seemingly more complex and less consistent in her sexual response than man, woman has been encouraged to accept a number of distorting and often disparaging myths regarding the function of her own body.

Here Bergman seems to be working again within that still, grave place from which sprang such transitional works as Brink of Life or Hour of the Wolf. This is not, like Persona, one of his greatest, most enlarging films, although it does bear some superficial stylistic resemblances to that early work. Cries and Whispers is somewhat more formal, measured, perceptibly detached, a film of physical and emotional violence carried into forbidden areas of the spirit...
...such as marriages or baptisms, tended to have an allover, continuous design. Typical is the exaggeratedly baroque fruitings and blossomings of what appears, on an early 18th century brocade, to be the Garden of Eden, seen against a blue satin sky. But with chasubles, a different convention arose. This sprang from the tailors' way of seaming together strips of fabric, which were then reinforced with a decorative vertical band called an orphrey. Orphreys might be relatively simple-as on the Met's heavily restored 14th-15th century Spanish chasuble, with its complex design of formalized pomegranates in woven...
