...Marcos made Filipino crime-smuggling, murder and government corruption-the main theme. Macapagal himself was above suspicion of foul play, but Marcos did not have to make personal accusations, for low-level crime and corruption were part of every Filipino's experience. Coupled to it was his own vibrant campaign style. Singing duets with his wife Imelda (Miss Philippines of 1954), stumping the barrios with hard-hitting speeches, screening a biographical movie titled For Every Tear a Victory, Marcos ran away with the race. The 8,000,000 Filipinos who went to the polls gave him a towering mandate...
Lean got what he went for, including the most tantalizing shot in the script. It calls for a frosted pane of glass, through which Zhivago is gazing, to dissolve into a field vibrant with daffodils. Lean found the perfect pane in a ski shack, hauled it into the open for the cameras. Then back the camera crew went to Spain, where 4,000 potted daffodils were put in place to complete the scene. On film, the sequence takes only an instant to show the change of seasons, but for Lean the effect is essential...
...rest of the cast, at least through the first act, supported these two quite well. Michael Campbell as Nanki-poo and Deborah Strong as Yum-yum made clear voiced, well coordinated lovers, and Nancy Sproul's contralto Katisha was vibrant, if somewhat unintelligible when she didn't face the audience. Although the women's chorus was weak, they were offset by an orchestra that finished splendidly. The pace was much too slow in the second act--perhaps because everyone was a little tired from the fun that preceded...
...fast convertible and faster women-one a sleek, actressy adventuress named Linda, who takes her matadors at their peak, and is played, in a brief and startlingly persuasive performance, by Linda Christian. Moment gives this conventional plot the classic simplicity of folk art. Gianni di Venanzo's vibrant color photography uncovers the temper of Spain among black-hooded worshipers at a religious festival, among whores and homosexuals in the slums of Barcelona, in the face of a proud old taskmaster whose dingy urban cellar houses a school for stripling toreros. In one sequence, the disconsolate Miguelin wanders through...
Different colors have different densities, feel nearer, more vibrant or softer than others; as in Olitski's subtle color washes. Those are predominently on a flat surface. The importance of the surface in contemperary art is brilliantly discussed by Fried in the "nexus o formal "nexus of formal issues" contained in the catalogue accompanying the exhibition: The first of "these issues concerns the ability of line, in modernist painting . . . to be read as bounding a shape or figure, whether abstract or representational...
