...where he works as an assistant waiter, to the Buenos Aires flat that his reclusive, much older brother Tetro (Vincent Gallo) shares with mistress Miranda (Maribel Verdú). Tetro, a budding writer, had walked out on the family after a fight with his domineering, priapic father Carlo (Klaus Maria Brandauer). Carlo, a famous conductor who hounded his own musician brother for being less successful, had stolen Tetro's dancer girlfriend and taken her as his second wife. Bennie discovers an unfinished play of Tetro's, written in code, about two generations of animosities and betrayals. Bennie, who has long idolized...
...Italian Parliament performs a sex act with a stuffed animal. The cafes percolate with erudite analyses of Marcel Ophuls's 4 1/2-hr. documentary / on Klaus Barbie, while back at the Eden Roc, Producer Edward Pressman discusses his new movie about Claus von Bulow, to star Klaus Maria Brandauer. You'll pay dearly for a Perrier at Cannes's Hotel Majestic bar, then more dearly still if you don't carry your wallet in a chastity belt.

He gives the world--mainly Bermuda, Cannes, and North Africa--a week to pay up. Enter the rehabilitated bond, at the insistence of the British foreign minister--who has a higher opinion of 007 than the agent's newfangled current boss...
...that will preoccupy him for the rest of this loose-jointed remake of Thunderball. Once again, the scenario has something to do with the theft of nuclear warheads and their use as a blackmail weapon. The plot's mastermind is played with silky, neurotic charm by Klaus Maria Brandauer (so fine in Mephisto), while as his chief agent provocateur, Barbara Carrera deftly parodies all the fatal femmes who have slithered through Bond's career. And it is good to see Connery's grave stylishness in this role again. It makes Bond's cynicism and opportunism seem...
