...schedule called for a president's reception at 4 p.m., with punch and snacks, followed by a dinner in the cafeteria, followed by a question-and-answer session at 7 p.m. The big Lincoln growled round spiny hills whose flanks were flecked with dead old cars, over swollen brown rivers, through towns where businessmen affect three-piece suits the color of certain gaudy birds-the passengers being made tardier by the minute...

By contrast, Edmund (Regimantas Adomaitis) oozes with so much dark sexuality that it's no wonder Regan and Goneril are eventually destroyed by their unrequited lust for him. The fool is aptly played by Otar Dal who with his frail, bony body and shorn head...
