AFTER THE REVOLUTION I want to be a truck driver. All the important decisions will have been made, and it will be obvious to everyone that this load of apples should be hauled to that hungry down as fast as possible. Like a neo-classical economist who has assumed away all of his important question, I will relish the secure expertise involved in maximizing an obvious good. A lane change here, some hard braking there-I will make my own little crucial decisions, but before I leave I will know where I am going and why; and the trip will...
...sets a movie scene and all the film mechanics that go on afterward. People are his prime resource. He rediscovers the diversity of individual reactions to common social experience--something few directors have achieved since the height of Satyajit Ray's artistry and the works of the better Italian neo-realists. Troell's people move with the same apparent integrity as any in Devt or Open City. All that occasionally mars our complete perception of their actions is Erik Nordgren's music, which bears intrusive lingerings from his Bergman films, and lacks the robust tone which Troell's subject requires...

Even if the anti-Marketeers composed a near majority of the Parliament, which they do not, they share virtually no other consensus. Among the most active in the opposition campaign were the young leftists--neo-Maoists--many of whom profess to see Norway eventually as an Albanian-type armed camp under attack and seige by the anti-popular forces of East and West. But among the most sympathetic voters were elderly Christians of quite different views. Combined with them, and providing the largest part of the majority vote, were the farmers and fishermen and family members of "outskirt Norway" whose...
