...prize judges, it did not. Hamilton didn't win a Golden Lion, the Biennale's version of an Oscar. Another young American, in another part of the exposition, did. Doug Aitken's Electric Earth, a slick, multiscreen video, earned him one of the three awards for best international artists. The video, about living "in the absolute present," as Aitken, 31, says, features the throbbing music and quick cuts more in tune with the MTV generation.

The study cites the growing economic independence of women and the rising number of children of divorce who are wary of marriage...
...happily married bookseller (Marie Riviere) acts as matchmaker for her vintner friend (Beatrice Romand). Here is a film attentive to the generosity of friendship, the cruelty of courtship. As Riviere says, "I want all men to love me, especially those I don't love." But she, Romand and young ravisher Alexia Portal give viewers plenty to love. Modestly profound, Autumn Tale has the savor of a great wine from a small vineyard...
