...Sorbonne during last May's student insurrection. All the while, the orchestra plays a convoluted version of the third movement from Mahler's "Resurrection" Symphony, as snippets of Debussy, Bach, Stravinsky and a dozen other composers float in and out of Berio's nightmarish stream of semiconsciousness. In one sense, the words do not matter; Berio is not interested in making a song. He is communicating a kind of life attitude that shrinks at the prospect of some unnamable terror. It is a musical collage of headlines persistently giving a warning of holocaust...
...doorstep, and I will have a straight answer 20 years hence when I am asked, "Where were you when...?" I am also beginning to understand what the neutrality of scholarship really means in human terms; its euphemistic clarity is like that of a mountain stream: crystalline and shallow at the same time.

...first directing assignment with an attitude sensibly balanced between ambition and restraint. His subject matter, highly conducive both to boredom and pretension, is the plight of a 36-year-old virgin (at least the ads say she's 36), played by Joanne Woodward.

...first forty-five minutes at the Brattle, and might alone be worth the price. Both are art-house standards, and worthily so. Luis Bunuel's first film, Un Chien Andalou (a 1928 collaboration with artist-entrepreneur Salvador Dali), will either fascinate or frustrate with its free-association stream of symbols. (If you get completely lost in these fifteen unusual minutes, just remember violence symbolizes sex, the dead mules on the piano symbolize sex, and ants symbolize masturbation.) Exploited sometimes as Bunuel's creation or more accurately as Dali's, Chien Andalou exhibits the most youthful characteristics in both. Dali...
...unlike the 10:03, is low-key at first. Hundreds of theatregoers stream on to the sidewalks of Boylston Street, bleary-eyed and speechless. Soon they stop yawning long enough to engage each other in conversation. A bald, middle-aged man with spaghetti sauce stains on his wrinkled white shirt turns to his wife and says, "We spent $7.50 to see this thing, so we're going back inside, and we're going to stay until someone rapes the redhead...
