...when the play does assume characteristics of the darkest and most destructive comedy (as the program notes fashionably term the entire play) in the last few scenes, Schmidt reverses the entire style of his own production to heavy and symbolic drama, groping I presume for an ending via sudden spurts of electronic music and taped dialogue replays. Hector is strung up before our very eyes, the lighting goes all blood red in back of him a rewrite of the text overemphasizes the ironies of love and war, and everything soars to a climax...
...most frowned on the micro-miniskirt, which one executive defined as the "for-goodness'-sake-don't-bend-over style." Nowhere do miniskirts raise more eyebrows than in the Ford Foundation's new Manhattan headquarters, where secretaries work in glass-enclosed offices. Overcome by a sudden sense of modesty, one secretary, perched at a graceful but unprotective typewriter pedestal, recently sewed a minicurtain and draped it in front of her.

...lived and worked in Mexico for more than 20 years, is no Cervantes, his portrait of the tyrannized, superstition-racked land is as primitive as the peasants themselves. The film's best moments are miniatures: the grotesque love story of a dwarf and a whore; the sudden hysterics of women keening over a dying child; a love-haunted, plague-struck woman who is offered dirisxian aid but spurns the comfort of heaven to sigh for her lost lover. The stretches between such moments are bare and boring. Moreover, Bunuei's anticlerical polemics add up to nothing more than...
