...asexual. The Unofficial Guide to Life at Harvard describes the Outing Club as "dedicated to outdoor fun and adventure." Just like that whale in Moby-Dick. I head over to club headquarters to pick up a 'dopesheet' describing upcoming outing opportunities. One of the trips listed is a "multi-day ski-backpack-camping trip to Mt. Bond in the Whites." Mount Bond in the Whites. I liked the ring of that. It sounded like an exotic aperitif. Unfortunately, I don' know how to ski. Or backpack. Or have fun. And as far as hiking goes, I get winded walking...
However, lest we concentrate too heavily on the asexuality of this film, it must be noted that femme fatales needn't be sexual superpowers. Great objects of male desire are invariably so much more than that. They are multi-dimensional, interesting women who flaunt their own indentities and resist being typified as silent, passive, objects of male interest. One thinks of Debra Winger as Joy, C.S.

Straddling the border between autobiography and fiction is not Chernin's only manipulation of her intriguing title in this rich and multi-layered work...
...evident on "Ice," where Marchand's bass and the saxophone of Michel Dubeau play mirror to McLachlan's voice. Marchand's support is also key on "Elsewhere," a beautiful declaration of the power of love, with the line "I believe this is heaven to no one else but me" multi-tracked over McLachlan's own vocal harmonies, guitars and piano. It is Marchand who adds the synthesizer and drum machines that round out McLachlan's sound, giving her the freedom to engage in the vocal gymnastics she does so well...
