...much for modernism, Bloomsbury, the avantgarde. The once experimental stream of consciousness that James Joyce, Virginia Woolf and Katherine Mansfield pioneered has now been diverted. Still, Edward Albee had good reason to be afraid of Virginia Woolf. She was among the great innovative novelists; she had the enormous courage to trust her private imaginings and to interpret them even though those visions were sometimes insane. In the same sunburst year of 1922 when Ulysses and The Waste Land appeared, she published her first major novel, Jacob's Room. It was hailed for the beauty of its imagery and the uniquely...
...braggadaccio traps him into promising an exhibition of non-existent marble sculptures the following morning. So the irrepressible Gaudier Brzeska drags a simpering homosexual friend out of bed rushes to a cemetery to steal his stone and starts fiendishly to sculpt. He pours sweat and blither in a steady stream of inspiration until the light of dawn the impossible stands before him--a revolutionary bus of Beauty Shaw of course, never shows up So the by now manic messiah carts his statue through a violent downpour to Shaw's gallery in the center of Paris and to a crescendo...
Viewing Mao as a latter-day Monkey may be the only way to make sense out of the Cultural Revolution.

The photos are not arranged in chronological order; as we view them, we tend to look for the progressive formation of new icicles. When we discover the water was later used for the photos, we are freed from closing our concept on its frozen form. We now look...
...midst of their sorest travails. Troell's characters have a strength which allows for joyous conceits: the first shot of Kristina, lounging and playing on a swing while Oscar comes to court her, or Robert, excited by a natural sciences schoolbook, floating cap and boots down a stream to check out its fluidity. And of course, the best images of all chart the characters' growth. Flower petals in a cut-glass cup spill over during Kristina's first housewifely drudgery. Kari Oscar, while his entire family (except for his own mother and father) packs and prepares to leave, pauses over...
