...talks with animation and the slightest of accents. Yes, she says, the similarity in the endings of Violette and The Lacemaker was intentional; it was Chabrol's way of tipping his hat to Claude Goretta, the director of the earlier film. But she notes that the endings are only the same "for the camera - visually. For Violette, you know, the ending is open; there are chances for her. For Beatrice in The Lacemaker, it is closed, without the possibility of hope." In a way, she goes on, the two films are about young women and authority, one struggling...
...must modestly point to myself--can quite easily detect the false note, and I can assure you that there are no false notes here tonight.

Why are these related? Because no one, including the Deans whose names are attached to the plants, knows the slightest bit about how the plans will work or how they will affect students...
...early 40s (she refuses to divulge her age), Cannon's screen trademark is an odd but appealing mix of sensuality and wacky spontaneity. Says Paul Mazursky, who directed her in Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice: "She has this strange sexuality, which has the slightest edge of being funky, and this humor." She is the exact opposite of a gently provocative Diane Keaton, much more like a latter-day Judy Holliday (but brassier). Cannon downright dares to be vulgar.
