...history and as cinema. His soft colors and elegant camerawork belie a willingness to experiment for chilling or striking effects such as the visual echo of quick cuts which shatters the silence of the forest when Karl-Oscar's younger brother Robert shoots what he believes is an Indian warrior. In his control of natural images, his imagination and sense of the complex relations of individuals to social processes, Troell comes closer to Bergman than any other current director. He edges near the best Faulkner, imaginatively recreating a history which is truer and more substantial than the history of dates...
...about that Israeli task force operating on the west bank of the Suez Canal?" we asked the senior officer, who walked with the stiff waddle characteristic of an aging warrior. He removed his goggles, revealing the dark eyepatch that left no doubt about who the officer was. Defense Minister Moshe Dayan replied coyly: "That is, how you say, the $64,000 question."

This is fine for the animals, but piss-poor for the movie. This version, however, is merely "a devastating attack on the pig-headed rulers of an imaginary totalitatian state." Pig-headed, get it? Opens tonight at 8 at the Boston Repertory Theater, Marlboro and Berkeley Streets in Boston, in repertory...
...trouble spots around the world. While covering the Soviet takeovers in Eastern Europe in the 1940s, Freidin was often debriefed by CIA men and got leads from them in return. Occasionally, he says, he accepted CIA money−"so little that it was laughable." To Freidin, a staunch cold warrior like many of his colleagues there, the relationship was all part of the fight against Communism. He dealt with the CIA, he claims, "because it was the right thing. I never told them anything that I wouldn't print...
