...believe it. His face is such a mask of dumb stupor that when he finally heaves out of his seat to cross the aisle it's too much, the audience began giggling at this point and didn't stop. The couple's writhing and gasping is intercut with shots of another man with a craggy face sitting behind them, who keeps raising his eyebrows. After a minute he too heaves out of his seat and wooden faced, strides manfully down the aisle picks up Emmanuelle and carries her into the bathroom to more incredulous laughter from the audience. What follows...
Journey Through the Past contains much documentary footage-of Young on tour, performing with Crosby, Stills and Nash and the Buffalo Springfield-intercut with stillborn fictional parables about a scholar who tromps through picturesque locations, searching for himself, or perhaps just for a guitar. There are intellectual asides (Stephen Stills ruminates that "some day words, and the reassurance of words, won't be necessary-soon"), social speculations (a discussion of concert ticket prices segues into a rendition of Find the Cost of Freedom), and heavy images (a needle stashed inside a Bible) of terror and salvation. There is also...
...king controls his subjects' every emotion. There is little feeling in the spoken lines, although both Sutherland and Julie Christie are superb--all is silent, seen.

It is a stunning demonstration of why film, in the right hands, is such an erotic medium, and by the way it magically holds itself apart from the surrounding sense of the sinister, reinforces our sense...
JIMI HENDRIX, a documentary eulogy to the late rock guitarist, includes a great deal of performance footage intercut with interviews: of groupies, of roadies, of family and friends and peers. The biography that emerges is perfunctory and predictable. There are all sorts of discussions about genius, talent, self-destruction and the miseries and pressures of a rock star's life, none of it new, most of it rather sweeping and vague. Hendrix's furious, kinetic music is at the core of the film, which at its best is like a "greatest hits" record album on film. The interview...
Sebastien has agreed to let a television film crew shoot the rehearsals, and the 16 mm footage which they take is intercut with that of the conventional cameras. The effect is to give a documentary depth to the characters, seen now being followed around the stage by the television people, now in grainy images shot by the crew. Actors lounge off stage while waiting to go on, drink Cokes over reading sessions, move from tension to fatigue. The two views together provide a convincing if tiring casualness...
