...Paris Commune of 1871. On the Boulevard St. Germain, a workman dressed in blue overalls attacked the pavement with a heavy, pointed bar in an attempt to free the first paving stone, which would liberate the others. As soon as he had succeeded, a grandmotherly woman took her place in a line of Parisians that quickly formed to pass the stones to others who were building a barricade. On the Boulevard St. Michel, a student sat atop the barricade, casually ignoring the danger. Police lobbed grenades. Another student dropped in pain. Still another was hit in the face...
...best man in the Cabinet." That did not bother Barbara Castle. Being petite and auburn-tressed, she resembles a man-or some men-only in her determination to get a job done well. A left-wing Laborite from the cotton-milling town of Blackburn in Lancashire and the only woman in Wilson's Cabinet, Mrs. Castle, 56, has just been handed a job that would test the mettle of any male.

A dialogue is always better than a monologue, and an excellent introduction to love...
...director Claude Charbol (Les Cousins), The Champagne Murders unfolds web-like with the violent surrealism of a nightmare. A decadent party suddenly is no longer what it has been, the guests have become a process-screen behind Anthony Perkins, who in turn finds himself virtually assaulted by a grotesque woman who claims she knew him as a gigolo on the Riviera; the objective reality of the camera has shifted imperceptibly to the subjective perception of an unstable mind. Always eccentric, Chabrol's characters toy dangerously with the lives of their friends and lovers, and in The Champagne Murders, border...
