...same time. Haas's film succeeds because he is basically robust and tough minded. His fantasy is founded on an understanding of history, and emerges from confrontation with reality--not evasion of it. The entire film, in fact, is based on its hero's attempt to piece together his past. He has inherited snippets from his parents and culls other patches of information from fellow denizens of a chaotic late-medieval society. Only after he gains an idea of the forces that have controlled him, and the real roots of his family, is he able to direct his future--which...

This asthmatic little item would wheeze its way into oblivion but for the robust first aid continually administered by those seasoned troupers, Richardson and Ashcroft. The nagging question remains: Why do even the finest of British actors bother with this sort of stuff? Can one imagine a Herbert von Karajan conducting No, No, Nanette? COWARDY CUSTARD Age has not withered or custom staled the tunes...
