...video consoles. On one, the wife, rehashes her complaints and frustrations about life. Godard is only half paying attention. He even seems slightly annoyed, although weary, at his own work--work that ten years ago he would have expected would fire us with his own indignation. The factory theme is echoes in one of the last narrative lines of the film: "Is Papa a landscape or a factory?" And the movie's last word, as Godard on screen buries his face in his hands, is Oppression. It is not an oppression that will inevitably or easily be cast off. Godard...
...open a photography studio soon in New York. Both of Taylor's children are good-looking, both seem deliberately posed to provoke comparison with Beautiful Mama, yet neither has much sparkle.

The viewer is immediately conned into believing the show lacks a consistent plot and has few lessons to be learned. Since things are not always as they appear to be, it is not until the end that we realize the play had a message which we were part of all along and like the women portrayed in Chicago, the come-on is such a tease we are hardly satisfied by the finale...
...more basically, how a boy grows up. By the time Shakespeare's play opens at the Loeb December 11, the skill of director George Hamlin will probably have worked to weld all the wicked plots and counterplots of the smaller schemes of things into the pattern of the larger theme...
