...beautiful, almost too beautiful, as if constructed by someone just as neurotic as Page's interior decorator. The interiors are spare, still and natural, an appropriate setting for this family. But Allen forces the issue, almost to the point of being a farce: when the father's new girlfriend (Maureen Stapleton) crashes in on the scene in flaming red and glitter, the contrast becomes too obvious, almost ludicrous. The ocean rumbles too loud and too often, even if the isolation of the beaches is such an appropriate setting. And in the last shots--after the mother is dead and buried...
...CASE COULD be made that Allen really made Interiors as a parody of serous movies. All the little extravagances of filming and over-indulgences in character--notably the highbrow/lowbrow contrast between the family and the father's new girlfriend--could lead to such an interpretation; that's assuming, of course, that Allen still had his tongue in his cheek while he made the film. But if Allen is really chuckling at all the suckers who took him seriously, then he clearly failed. As a genuine effort in serous psychological drama, Interiors is mostly successful; for that reason, it doesn...
...stone quarry and a chemical factory. There are persistent rumors that he was engaged or married during this time. The Vatican last week officially denied them, as do friends from those years. However, like many a young man he had an active social life, and at least one steady girlfriend. A devout tailor interested him in the writings of St. John of the Cross, Spain's 16th century Carmelite mystic, and in 1942, the year after his father died, Wojtyla decided to begin studies for the priesthood at an illegal underground seminary...
...reading a lot about in The New York Times lately, if there were a New York Times. There isn't, but their names are still news. This has not been a good week for 21-year-old Sid of the Sex Pistols. His cat is dead, his girlfriend is dead, he tried to kill himself, and he is suspected of being guilty on all three counts. I have the feeling his name won't help his cause, either...
Vacation in the Caribbean. A high-priced girlfriend. A luxury Washington apartment. Onetime senior Soviet Diplomat and U.N. Under Secretary-General Arkadi Shevchenko, 48, has hardly maintained a classless society's life-style since he defected to the U.S. last spring. After being debriefed by the CIA, he has not only enjoyed freedom of movement, but also savored the fruits of capitalism. Using at least four aliases and always trailed in public by a CIA or FBI bodyguard, the Ukrainian has been frequenting Washington's bars and discos and relaxing at resorts in the Caribbean and Pennsylvania...
