...Union City has other things on its mind. For a start, this is a film noir in garish, ominous primary colors; the design takes its cue from the camp surrealism of modern Germanic directors like Daniel Schmid and Hans-Jürgen Syberberg. More important, however funny-peculiar the plot, Union City tracks its characters' shabby lives and squalid passions so relentlessly that it becomes a portrait of lower-middle-class despair. And Lipscomb's performance is devastatingly acute. His gestures are just too broad, his harsh voice much too loud; Harlan's swagger and insecurity...
DIED. Carlo Schmid, 83, grand old man of West Germany's Social Democratic Party; of cancer, in Bonn.

...PALOMA is a wonderfully mad shotgun wedding of high camp, movie mythology, bad taste, obsessive romanticism and impudent satire. It is also oddly -very oddly-moving; not innovative, perhaps, but quite unique. The second film of a young Swiss named Daniel Schmid, it is a reshaping of the story of Camille, with some strains from La Traviata thrown in for good measure. Imagine a hothouse hybrid of the work of Ken Russell and Roger Gorman, and the overstuffed, overcharged texture of the film can just be approximated. La Paloma is set in Europe of the 1930s as it might have...
