The Chicago MaroonVolume 94, No. 4 The University of Chicago ©Copyright 1984CCC delays plaza plans The Chicago Maroon Friday, July 20, 1984By Ravi RajmaneTHE HYDE PARK Ken¬wood Community Conserva¬tion Council (CCC), yielding toanti-commercial sentimentwithin the community, delayedits approval of a shoppingcenter at 53rd St. and Dorches¬ter Ave. at its meetingWednesday evening.The proposed shopping plazawill actually be two separatecenters flanking the easterncorners of 53rd and Dorches¬ter. The vacant lot on thenortheast corner of the inter¬section. formerly the site of theold Hyde Park YMCA, willhouse a large drug store andnumerous small specialtyshops. A second, muchsmaller, shopping center willbe constructed on the south¬east corner.If the project is approved bythe CCC, the developers,WilFreds Developments, Inc.and Philip Elms, Ltd., whoalso own the apartment build¬ing at the northwest corner of53rd and Blackstone, will ren¬ovate that building for use bystores and offices. A smallparking lot will also be con¬structed behind this building.The developers, representedby attorney David Truitt at themeeting, petitioned the CCC tochange the zoning status of theeastern corners of 53rd andDorchester from local institu¬tions to commercial. All zoningchanges in Hyde Park must beinitiated by the CCC beforebeing presented to the Depart¬ment of Housing and the CityCouncilResidents of property conti¬guous to the development,however, have objected to theconstruction plans. The Dor-chester-Blackstone NeighborsAssociation, spearholdingcommunity opposition, metwith the developers to expresstheir concerns. Resolutionstentatively drafted at theirconference included limitingaccess to a planned alley be¬hind the north side property,installation of a seven-footopaque fence between the de¬velopment and adjacent resi¬dences, floodlights around theperimeter of the stores, and aban on liquor sales.OPPOSING VIEWS on theprohibition of fast-food outletsin the plaza and hours of opera¬tion were not reconciled.Edwin Rothschild, CCC chair¬man, had slated for Wednes¬day’s meeting a final decisionon the petition for zoningchange. Since the developersand the community group re¬mained at loggerheads, how¬ever, Rothschild and the boardopted to delay the decision. “The last thing we want is toleave the lots vacant,” saidRothschild. He added that itwas in the spirit of urban ren¬ewal to build or refurbish prop¬erty that would otherwise dete¬riorate.During the meeting, somemembers of the community,particularly those residing inthe 5400 block of Dorchester,claimed their interests werenot represented by either the CCC or the Dorchester-Black-stone Neighbors Association.One member of this group,Sidney Williams, said 53rd St.was over-commercialized.Williams warned that the pro¬posed shopping center, with itspossible 24-hour operation,would create traffic bottlen¬ecks,' take away streetsidescontinued on page fourTwo lives lost in localdrowning accidentsBy Hilary TillA 19-YEAR-OLD man losthis life Saturday evening aftertrying to swim off the rocks atPromontory Point, which is lo¬cated near 55th St., and LakeShore Dr. The drowning vic¬tim. Christopher Thompson,was a student at DeVrv Insti¬tute of Technology.Witnesses reported that thestudent called for help fromthe water and soon thereafterwent under. The Chicago FireDepartment scuba crew cameand retrieved the victim fromthe water.The student was transportedto Mitchell Hospital and waspronounced dead at 8:15 p.m.THERE WAS anotherdrowning in the area Saturday.During the afternoon, awoman drowned in the pool at the Hyde Park Hilton Hotel,which is located at 4900 S. LakeShore Dr.At the time of the drowning,there were many people in thepool and a lifeguard wfas onduty. As of Thursday, the cir¬cumstances surrounding thedrowning were still a mystery.It was thought that nobody inthe pool noticed that the victimwas in trouble for two reasons.She made no commotion, andshe was floating on her backwith her head above water.Apparently she had swal¬lowed a lot of water prior tofloating on her back. A personnear her noticed that she wasfloating motionless and calledfor the lifeguard.The woman was still alivewhen she was taken out of thewater, but she later died.

Attacks by rebelforces based in Honduras con¬tinue to exact a heavy toll,meanwhile, both in human andin economic terms.In one such attack on the vil¬lage of Jalapa, US-backed“contras” inflicted $7 millionworth of damage, said JohnFish, a member of UniversityChurch in Hyde Park who wit¬nessed the damage.

Hoping to deter rebelattacks by their presence, sev¬eral members of the grouphave been living in towns nearthe Honduran border since1983.The economic havocwreaked by attacks such as theone on Jalapa has begun to un¬dermine Nicaraguan morale.Fish said. Government leadersdeny this, however.

The selec¬tion of Ferraro, then, helpstighten relations between Mon¬dale and Jackson, according toCurrie.Braun, however. was notconvinced the selection of Fer¬raro would help Mondale“shore up his base” of blackvoters. She said many blackand Hispanic voters are anx¬ious to see Mondale institutereforms in the party’s delegateselection process.Braun also said black andHispanic voters are disgrun¬tled over 1980 reapportionmentplans carried out in the nation.Braun and State Sen. RichardNewhouse (D-13) successfullyfought for revised maps whichgave black and Hispanicvoters greater representationin the Illinois General Asse¬mbly. Braun charged that sev¬eral discriminatory mapswere made by white majorityDemocratic-controlled legisla¬tures throughout the nation.She remains optimistic, how¬ever, that reforms will bemade. “I’m optimistic it canhappen because of Mondale'spast record.” she said.BOTH CURRIE and Braunattended the San Franciscoconvention as delegates.

Themayoral standard-bearers of theDemocratic, Republican, and SocialistWorkers parties all hailed from thisSouth Side neighborhood.But you probably did not know thatHyde Park has a presidentialcandidate living in its midst. BradfordLyttle, a longtime communityresident and U of C alumnus, isrunning a write-in campaign for thepresidency on behalf of the U.S.Pacifist Party.Lyttle, 56, has lived in Hyde Parkfor just about all of his life. Hereceived a master’s degree here inEnglish Literature in 1951 and iscurrently a student in the University’sPolitical Science department. He isnot doing much studying now becauserunning for president takes up a lot oftime.Lyttle stated that he has a familyhistory of pacifism. He himselfbecame dedicated to pacifism afterthe explosion of the atomic bomb atHiroshima. At that time, he thoughtthat perhaps the “human experiment(was) simply over.” he said. “Fromthat time on,” he continued.“I...decided to spend my life workingin the peace movement, which I havedone.”Since the 1950’s. Lvttle’s main workhas been with various groupsassociated with the pacifist andanti-Vietnam war movements. In 1955.he authored a booklet entitled. TheConscientious Objectors’ Guide toCook County Jail. One of the manyprotests in which he was involved,included the 1963-64 Quebec to MiamiWalk for Peace. During thatdemonstraiion, the marchers werejailed in Albany, Georgia. Lyttle and more than twenty otherdemonstrators responded with atwo-month fast of protest against theirimprisonment. In March and April of1966, Lyttle “was a member of a teamof United States pacifists expelledfrom Saigon as a result of efforts toprotest the war in the SouthVietnamese capital,” according to abiographical sketch about thepresidential aspirant.Lyttle founded the U.S. PacifistParty on March 2, 1983. “I simply feltin the spring of 1983 that there is aneed for a party like this,” he said.The goal of the Pacifist Party. Lyttleadvanced, “is to try to convincepeople of a particular perspective,particularly on international relationsand the arms race.”WHAT IS that perspective? Lyttlebelieves that nuclear deterencestrategy is “inherently unstable”, andunless nuclear weapons areimmediately deactivated, “the virtualinstantaneous annihilation of thehuman species” may occur at anymoment. This viewpoint is called“rational pacifism” by Lyttle.Lvttle's belief that deterencestrategy is always doomed to failureis part of a theory of history he hasdeveloped. “Deterence has alwaysbeen the basis upon which history hasbeen conducted. History consists ofcycles of wars,” he declared. “Assoon as you are locked into a systemof deterence. you are locked into thebreakdown of that system,” hemaintained. With the breakdown ofthe deterence system, war breaks out.There is then. Lyttle said, a period ofpeace with the development of newdeterence systems. They inevitablycollapse again. “That's why,” Lyttleconcluded, “history has a cyclicalcharacter.” He added, “That’scertainly what’s happened in the last200 years in the Western world.”How did Lyttle come to believe that a nuclear deterence strategy willinevitably lead to catastrophic war?Lyttle argued that this outcome “canbe predicted by mathematicalprobability analysis. And theparticular model that does this is thisequation: AP equals (1 - (1 - p)) to the(N(U+S)) power,” he asserted. APstands for Apocalypse Probability,which is the probability of thedestruction of civilization caused byan accidental launch of an Americanor Soviet nuclear missile. P is theprobability of a particular Americanor Soviet strategic nuclear missileaccidentally launching at any timeduring the course of a year. N is thenumber of years in the periodconsidered. For example, if one islooking at the probability of a nuclearwar in a period of say thirty years,then N takes on the value of 30. U isthe number of American missiles, andS is the number of Soviet missiles.THIS EQUATION, which Lyttlecalls the Apocalypse Equation, showsthe uninformed a number of thingsabout deterence. the Hyde Parkpacifist claimed. Because thenumbers in the exponent are so large,“it shows you that its failureprobability approaches certainty,”Lyttle asserted. Because you do notknow the value of P. “it shows youthat you do not know what the failureprobability is at any given instant.So.” Lyttle concluded, “theresponsible assumption is that it canfail now.”For Lvttle's conclusions to be valid,an accidental launch of one nuclearmissile must trigger a nuclear warbetween the superpowers. Also, if thevalue of P is exceedingly small andvery near zero, then the equationwould be trivial.£ Lyttle believes intensely in theApocalypse Equation. It “is like thelaw of gravity” he declared. “Thisequation governs human affairs. It’s much more realistic and precise (thanKarl) Marx’s predictions.”“Newton had trouble. Galileo hadtrouble...but eventually...(their ideas)were universally accepted. I think thisequation...(will be accepted in)exactly the same way,” the pacifistproclaimed.What if the equation is not soonuniversally accepted and understood?Then the human species is going tocease to exist, Lyttle believes.WHAT IS the rational consequenceof the belief that a deterence strategywill lead inevitably to nuclear war?The result is a call for immediatedisarmament, unilateral if need be.Unilateral disamament, said Lyttle, isthe “most rational policy.”If we had “no nuclearweapons,...(the Soviets) would nothave any good reason to attack us,”Lyttle claimed. “But,” he added, “ifwe do have nuclear weapons,eventually they will attack...*This isbecause the nuclear arsenals aregoverned by...(the Apocalypse)equation.”Lyttle did not see unilateraldisarmament as tantamount tosurrendering. If the Soviets do invadethe U.S. when we are without nuclearweapons, we should respond withnonviolent resistance. Lyttleproposed.“I would much rather deal with theproblem of totalitarian communismwith nonviolent resistance” andseveral other approaches than withnuclear deterence. the presidentialcandidate advanced. Lyttle and theU.S. Pacifist Party are also in favorof one-person-one-vote democraticworld government as an additionalstep to help avert a possible futurewar.THE RATIONAL pacifist sounded areligious note with furthercontinued on page fourChicago Literary Reviewwants your short fiction,poetry, drama, criticism, andreviewsDEADLINE: SEPTEMBER 17PUBLICATION DATE:SEPTEMBER 28Bring all contributions to the CLRbox: Room 303, Ida Noyes Hall,or mail them to that address.• Get Literary • ADAT SHALOM SHABBAT DINNERin traditional atmosphereTONIGHTFriday, July 27,19848:30 p.m.$3.00sign up at Hillel5715 S.

Although President Reaganhas characterized the Sandanista lead¬ership as communist, more than 80percent of the aid it has received hascome from outside the Soviet block, hesaid, and of this, more than 50 percentcame from Mexico and Venezuela.Members of the’ group which touredNicaragua were saddened, though,when children would beg them for pen¬cils. “Imagine going to school withoutanything to write with!” Luecke said.While pencils are in short supply, de¬termination to succeed is not. “There’sno way that the Sandanistas will evergive up,” Fish declared.Nicaragua is short of many thingsdespite this assistance, Fish said.Maps, for instance, cannot be pur¬chased, so Fish photographed one andmade it part of his slide show.The Chicago MaroonThe Chicago Maroon is the official student newspaper of the Universityof Chicago.

During thefinal weeks of spring quarter I begin tostock up on books for my summer reading,usually “important” novels and works ofphilosophy and history — the kind ofthings I know I should read, but simplydon’t have time to read during the schoolyear. Come summer, I tell myself, I’ll haveall the time I need to get around to someheavy reading, the time to turn myselfinto a man of culture and erudition.But it never works, although my inten¬tions are always good — every summer itlooks like it’s going to happen. It neverdoes. Oh, I usually get a book or two (mostoften “important” novels) under my belt,but then the whole thing breaks down.Bye bye, the great books, — hello, maga¬zines and dime novels. Before I know it, allI’m reading (and writing) is trash andfluff. Case in point, last summer: I warmedup with Flaubert’s Sentimental Education.I read it quickly and with great enjoy¬ment; I felt quite sure that I was on a roll.It wouldn’t be a replay of summer before,when a quick, enthusiastic reading ofGoethe’s Elective Affinities was followedimmediately by an almost physical depen¬dence on P.G. Wodehouse short stories.Not that P.G. Wodehouse stories are badthings, on the contrary, but my sights hadbeen lowered, and down they stayed forthe rest of the summer. This would nothappen again, I told myself as I polishedoff the Flaubert, and got Augustine’s Con¬fessions off the shelf and into position onmy night table, ready for round two of mysignificant summer reading.Thank goodness for the patience ofsaints, because Augustine stayed on thattable all summer. Sometime between Sen¬timental Education and Confessions (Iwould guess around June 23) a small pileof Vanity Fair back issues began to exerta powerful fascination upon me — theglossy pictures and the gossipy articlesabout everyone from the Rosenbergs toAga Khan lulled me into a state of sleepysusceptibility. Had I been a good dealwealthier, I would no doubt have ran outand bought all the $120,000 diamondnecklaces, $80,000 cars, and $8,000,000condominiums that filled the magazine’spages. Not being a Rockefeller, or evenAga Khan (a vaguely royal personage ofequally vague origin; he, or she, seems tobe at all the best parties), these ads, andindeed the entire magazine, inspired acertain wistfulness in me. I began to readEdie. Hmm, I thought, the rich are dif¬ferent. Whether I like to admit it or not, Iwas a dupe — a victim of an elitist psy¬cho/ economic conspiracy! Luckily, my re¬turn to Chicago early in Septemberbrought me out from under its insidioussway. But the scars remain. I’ll catch my¬self musing on questions like, “I wonderwhat kind of pasta is currently trendy” or"Gee, what’s the Aga Khan up to?” oreven, “Hmm, I wonder what David Hock¬ney would say about that.” And I still buyVanity Fair, although I’ve learned to lookonly at the pictures.But that was last summer, and this is thissummer, I keep telling myself (and notunreasonably). This summer will be dif¬ferent' I thought, as I stapled together myfinal ten page essay of the year. First ofall, it was to be my first summer in Chicago— surely here, where the intellectual cur¬rent runs so swiftly, I would' read and readand read, if only to keep up with myfriends, who were already speaking oftheir plans viv-a-vis Moby Dick andProust. On top of this motivation was myability to charge at 57th Street Books, abookstore as pleasant and seductive asany I’ve come across. Walking out of thestore with a book under my arm, yet hav¬ing surrendered no cash, was a heady ex¬perience I was to repeat many times.The summer bookshelf began to fill up.Thomas Mann led the hit parade, withthree titles: Doctor Faustus, The BelovedReturns, and The Confessions of FelixKrull. Also on top were Giuseppe di Lan-pedusa’s The Leopard, Alma Mahler’s Gus¬tav Mahler: Memories and Letters, and(who knows I thought) maybe even Augus¬tine’s Confessions. It was not to be.Do not try to read Thomas Mann on thebeach. I cannot stress this enough. Now,I’m sure there are those of you who havefantasized about settlinq voluptuouslyinto a high-backed wooden deck chair onthe Lido, a glass of pomegranate juice andsoda-water sparkling ruby-red before John Belushi in Neighborsyou, as you read of Gustav von Aschen-bach’s beach blanket bewitchment inDeath in Venice. That’s all very well, butI’m not talking about the Lido, l‘m talkingabout the Point, and it is rather difficult toappreciate the intricacies of Mann’s ba¬roque prose when frisbees ae constantlywhizzing past, and the theme from Ghost-busters is blaring out of a radio just a fewfeet away. Difficult? Did I say difficult?Let’s try impossible. Little by little, myenthusaism began to wane: 7-8-9-10 andDoctor Faustus was down for the count,victim of sun, fun, and summer sloth.But a man has got to read something — Ifigured that I set my sights a little too highto start off with. Perhaps a good trashepic is what the doctor ordered, I thought,so I set out to find one. I pictured myselfwalking into 57th Street Books and say¬ing to the clerk, “Point me to the meanest,sleaziest summertime trash epic you have,something pernicious and entertaining!”“Going to the beach?” the clerk wouldconspiratorially smile in a manner remini¬scent of the skull-faced death figures ofDeath in Venice, and lead me to...I would wake up at this point; I knew towhat he would lead me: Wired: The ShortLife and Fast Times of John Belushi, by BobWoodward. Controversy in the press! Ex¬cerpts in the Trib! It began promisingly.On the third page, Carrie Fisher and PennyMarshall were taking LSD! But the celebri¬ty drug revelations soon began to pall,and I realized that Wired wasn’t goodjournalism, wasn’t a good trashy read — itwas only a terrible and sad book, thework of vultures, and hack vultures atthat. As Bogart says in Casablanca. “Idon’t mind a parasite; I just object to a cut-rate one ”Bob Woodward is a cut-rate parasiteWe are promised “a cautionary tale forour time, and a poignant and gpnti*> portrait of a young man who had so much,gave so much, and lost so much.” Wood¬ward gives us an introduction detailing his journalistic methods, and follows up themain text with appendeces naming all hissources, even giving the dates on whichthe interviews took place. All this seems arather desperate ploy for credibility. Itwould take a very serious and thoughtfulwriter to produce a Belushi biography thissoon after his death that would not be per¬ceived as crass exploitation. Woodward isnot a very serious or thoughtful writer.His just-the-facts style robs Belushi’s storyof any humanity it might have had Wood¬ward’s Belushi emerges as a monster. Weare continually told of his devoted friends,his warmth, his talent, but these descrip¬tions just don’t seem to jibe with the drug-crazed stick figure Woodward wavesaround. We find out what drugs he took,and what he ate for breakfast, but we findout next to nothing about the man.Wired is a numbing, dispiriting experi¬ence. If only Woodward had allowed hisnumerous interviews to speak for them¬selves, we might have had some chance tounderstand John Belushi, and the drugs ’n’death lifestyle that seems to haunt somany of America’s popular entertainers.The only emotionally resonant moments inthe book come in some of the extendedquotes, such as the one in which DanAykroyd muses on Belushi’s death, and onthe seductivenss of drugs. Compare thatpassage with Woodward's inane pontifi¬cating (“Why? What happened? Who wasresponsible?” he intones in his introduc¬tion) and we see what Wired might havebeen, as opposed to the pompous garbageit is.One thing I’ll say for Wired: it's still toosoon to tell, but I think it has made me re¬pent of my falling from the path, and mywi'ling descent into trashy summer read¬ing. All through the book, I couldn’t helpcomparing Belushi’s drug-induced physicaland mental decline with my own trash-in¬duced intellectual decline. It wasn’t diffi¬cult for me to picture my body being foundin some Hollywood hotel, the room littered with movie star biographies and JudithKrantz novels. And Bob Woodwad wouldbe there, tsk-tsking, droning on and onabout youthful promise betrayed and pla¬guing all my friends with endless inter¬views (“Did he take...drugs?” he wouldask. “No — he just read too much...junk,”they would reply).It's enough to make me mend my ways. Iam recuperating slowly, building up mystrength bit by bit, reading the Make Wayfor Lucia novels of E.F. Benson, charmingstories of a tiny English village and it’supper-class twit inhabitant. The heroine,Mrs. Emmeline Lucas, known as “La Lucia”due to her frequent peppering of Italianwords and phrases into her conversation(an affection, for she knows little or no Ita¬lian), is the most pretentious and over¬bearing character I've ever come across,at least in fiction; she's hilarious. The vil¬lage intrigue tends to revolve around suchmatters as the cut of Georgie Piilson’strousers, the invitation lists to innumera¬ble garden parties, and the doings of visit¬ing gurus and operatic divas. These booksare marvelously entertaining and slylywritten glimpses of trend-setters and fol¬lowers of the most parochial kind, andthus required reading for most everyoneat the University of Chicago. They are abalm fora Wired-fevered brain.So it looks like I am back on the path ofrighteousness — next, I’m planning a littleFitzgerald to further speed my recovery,and after that I just may get back to Doc¬tor Faustus.

In this group,Merz and Paladino do not put in a good show¬ing. The works by Paladino are stiffly icono-graphic, and the works by Merz are still lessremarkable than their fellows at the Art In¬stitute. The remaining three artists are muchbetter — and the more promising in that onecan see in the works the improvement of their talents over the past few years. Cucci pres¬ents us with a vision of hell that is at once hor¬rible and, oddly, peaceful — awful as it maybe, it is a final resting place after the turmoilof the world. Chia’s earlier works are play¬ful, decorative, and witty (a painting of a sol¬dier simultaneously drinking wine and urin¬ating is entitled Perpetual (Efmotion), butincapable of supporting meditation. Happily,the most recent of his works on display, ThreeBoys on a Raft (1983), indicates that Chia islearning how to turn energy into force andwit into meaning. Clemente’s work has im¬ proved the most. A series of early frescoesare trite in their symbolism and comparative¬ly poor in execution, but two later paintingsare more promising. And then, painted in1983, there’s Porta Coeli: one of the mostbeautiful, most affecting works of recent artthat I have seen in Chicago, and by far thestar of the exhibit. (As I was leaving, two el¬derly nuns entered the exhibit-hall. I felt sadfor them — in their search for salvation, theyhad locked the only gates to heaven.)

Howev¬er, under the banner of “Ribs andRibaldry” that is precisely what theOther Theater Group and the StuartHall Cafe will attempt this comingweek.As the chefs of Stuart Hall (the Business School) sizzle up burgersand ribs on open air grills, the Otherswill present Leonce and Lena byGeorg Buchner on the lawn in front ofthe Administration building.The first student production of thesummer, Leonce and Lena, is hardlytypical dinner theater fare. Buchner,a 19th century German playwrightwho died in political exile at the ageof 26, has been rediscovered duringthe past few decades and hailed as amajor influence on the work of Berth-olt Brecht and other well-known 20thcentury playwrights. Best known forhis grim naturalistic work, Woyzeck,Buchner wrote only three plays dur¬ing his short life. Leonce and Lena ishis only comedy.Consciously borrowing from Sha¬kespeare. Buchner's romantic farcefollows a traditional format. DoltishKing Peter, who spends most of histime in odd philosophical reveries(concluding only “I am I”), arrangesfor his son, Leonce, to marry a prin¬cess from a neighboring kingdom.The foppish young prince, who is con¬ stantly in some existential crisis oranother, flees from the arrangedmarraige with his trusted companionValerio. While on the road, Leoncefalls in love with another traveller.With the able assistance of Valerio,the two lovers manage to slip backinto King Peter's realm and be mar¬ried, only to find out (surprise! sur¬prise!) that Leonce’s bride is actuallythe Princess Lena, the woman KingPeter wanted his son to marry in thefirst place.Unlike Shakespeare, Buchner doesnot rely on intricate plot twists toprovide humor. Instead the playrests on sharp verbal exchanges; thedialogue sometimes seems to bestraight out of Marx — GrouchoMarx, that is. Even the charactersgroan as the puns fly: at one point,an exasperated Leonce tells his com¬panion Valerio: “Man, you are noth¬ing but a bad pun — you have neitherfather nor mother, the five vowelsgave birth to you.”Director Curtiss Cohen has infusedthe word games with energeticblocking and clever slapstick. Theopen air setting allows for a roughand tumble staging of this work andthe actors take advantage of thefreedom to let loose with bawdymovements and gestures.The Other Theater Group previous¬ly staged Volpone and Oedipus Rexduring spring and winter quarterslast year. Both productions werewell received by University audi¬ences Since admission is *ree, how canyou lose with a play that pledges it¬self to “musical voices, classicalbodies, and a comfortable religion.”Leonce- and Lena runs from Thursday,July 26 through Sunday, July 29 at6:30 pm in front of the ad building.The grills run all afternoon in front ofthe B-School.There will be a special perfor¬mance of the play on Sunday, July 29at 2:30pm on the Hutchinson Com¬mons Outdoor Stage in honor of EvaPeron —Jaan EliasShepard.

FILMExposed (James Toback, 1983) Aquirky and beguiling drama, Ex¬posed was written and directed byJames Toback (Fingers), whoseultra-obsessive cinematic style hasgotten him compared with the likesof Bunuel and Fuller. Nastassia Kins¬ki stars as a young woman whosetransformation from Wisconsin col¬lege girl to world famous fashionmodel to some sort of Goethe-inspired “Angel of Death" is relatedwith a deliriously dead-seriousgravity, belying the almost cosmicimplausibility of the narrative,which eventually ends up settling inthe international terrorist world ofRudolf Nureyev and Harvey Keitel.Sounds excessive'!’ It is! But beneaththe undeniably entertaining, glossysurface of the film are serious con¬cerns: I'd tell you what you are. but Ihaven’t quite figured the wholething out yet. Maybe it’s about theimportance of “image” in today’ssociety, or perhaps the difficulties inmaking moral and political commit¬ments — it could even be a modernre-working of the old Wagnerian re¬demption through love/death thing.I’m not sure. All I know is, I've seenExposed four times, and very wellmight see it twice Friday night. Andwho knows? I just might finally un¬derstand what it’s all about.

Skinner, and vir¬tually every film-noir “B” movie evermade?Well, if Strangers Kiss is any examplethen the answer is clearly one hell of amovie. The premiere of Matthew Chap¬man's new film last Friday brought to Chi¬cago, at long last, a movie that is so de¬lightfully brazen, so deliciously sadistic,as to give even Mike Hammer a heat rashfor a week.The plot of the film should be fairly fa¬miliar to “B” movie fans around thecountry. It’s 1955 and a big time mobsternamed Frank Silva (Richard Romanus) de¬cides to bankroll the film of two littleknown filmmakers. The only catch is thatthey agree to star as the picture’s lead(you guessed it) Silva's pretty, blond girl¬friend, Carol Redding (Victoria Tennant).As it turns out, the movie within the moviethat the rather Machiavellian director(Peter Coyote) has chosen to shoot is basedon the 1955 Stanley Kubrick film Killer’sKiss. In this new film Carol is to play arole, not unlike herself, as Betty, the girl¬friend of a cruel and violent mobster whofinds herself in love with a tough, idealis¬tic boxer named Billy. To play the role ofBilly, the director chooses an equallycocky, first time actor named Stevie Blake(played by Blaine Novak, who also wrotethe original story).It doesn’t take long for the parallel be¬tween the two films to become complete asStevie Blake actually falls in love withCarol Redding. As the real life stories ofthese two actors converge with the rolesthey are playing, reality and illusion be¬come more and more difficult to discern.Their world, the only world that mattersto them, becomes the movie set where, be¬fore the camera, they can satisfy their de¬sire for intimacy, albeit vicariouslythrough their roles as Betty and Billy.Paradoxically, when the young pair ar¬range a romantic rendezvous, Carol meetsStevie at “her place” — not her actualborne but the cardboard house set theyduring the movie. This dependencythe film set for their only point of con-finally prompts Carol to ask Steviethe inevitable question: “When the movieiAA,A% ptes the/ aud ■thizes with these celluloid lovers. Crucialto this relationship is the film’s ubiquitous. - - question that soon also preoccu-s the audience, which truly sympa-Crucial director, a character so well conceived bythe original author Blaine Novak (whoalso co-wrote the screenplay with Matth¬ew Chapman) and so well performed byPeter Coyote, that it alone makes the filmworth seeing. From the first scene, the au¬dience realizes that this figure is the ab¬solute dictator of ail that happens withinthe studio walls This omnipotent, god-likeimage is furthered by his never-changingblack attire, and the absense of any nameor identity outside the studio and histowering abode — a small office highabove the set, cluttered with parts of man¬nequins and statues.What Peter Coyote is able to convey tothe audience Is a man possessed by hismovie; a man who manipulates those soulswithin his power for his own greater de¬sign. He, in fact, treats his set like a giant sheepish producer, “and I want heat.” Toadd this heat he conspires to get Stevie tofall in love with Carol, knowing very wellthat concrete sneakers await the youngactor should the mobster Silva find out.The other powerful performance andtowering presence in “Strangers Kiss”comes from Richard Romanus and his por¬trayal of Frank Silva. The character ofSilva is a lot tougher than it initially ap¬pears. This ganster, far from being thestereotype in the film being shot, is clearlysincere in his love for Carol and needs hermost desperately in his life. The greatestachievement of Romanus in this film isthat, after seeing him “at work” in scenesof great cruelty, one can still sympathizewith this cuckolded man who is tormentedby even the thought of Carol’s betrayal.The performances by the other princi¬pals in this film deserve mention as well.YOU'RE INVITED TO CITY BEACH-BRUNCHMEET AT 5472 HARPER APT. 1A 1 PMBRING YOUR BATHING SUIT Victoria Tennant’s depiction of an actresswho, as the film's director put it, is “sogood at fear and so bad at love...” is high¬ly credible. Dan Shor's role as Farris, thesidekick to the director, is as convincing asit is charming. Blaine Novak gives a solidperformance as Stevie Blake, though he isnot as convincing as someone better suitedto the style of the period might have been.One minor character that should be men¬tioned is Blake's boxing coach, Estoban. Inwhat is possibly the greatest case of char¬acter pile-up in recent memory, Carlos Pal¬omino — former welterweight champion —plays a former welterweight championwho choreographs the fight scenes for the“8“ movie in which he plays a formerchampion/coach.One person, however, deserves thelion's share of praise for Strangers Kissand that, without question, is its extraor¬dinary talented “real” director, MatthewChapman. Though his last film Hussy {re¬leased in 1979) had only moderate suc¬cess. this newest work should guaranteehim a reputation as one of the most giftedyoung directors working today. StrangersKiss is an enormous directing accomplish¬ment; its consistently impressive and in¬ventive camera work make the film a de¬light to watch. Chapman’s use of black andwhite to film the movie being made in thestory is marvelous as he switches back andforth from illusion to reality. By the end ofthe movie, when the roles and the lives ofthe two actors are so intermingled andconfused, the transitions in and out ofcolor accordingly become less distinct.Chapman creates, through a number ofhighly effective camera positions, thefeeling that his characters are under con¬stant observation and scrutiny. They allappear as if trapped within the large fish¬bowl that sits prominently in Stevie'sboarding room. This is particularly effec¬tive in the case of Carol and Stevie who,while performing their roles as Betty andBilly, telescope this perception of beingunder close scrutiny even further. Theirwhole relationship occurs within the envi¬ronment constructed around them byothers and remains dependent on thosewills for their continued association. Theyultimately appear, as the screenwriteroften suggests, as two carefully pre¬served butterflys pinned down on cellu-toid.Strangers Ki$s is a film Chicago audi¬ences will love and should be set for a longengagement wrth the Fine Arts Theater,The “heat” that the director in the filmcalls for is certainly there in abundance. Infact, the entire movie from start to finishseems to idle comfortably on the edge ofcritical mess.JOURNAL.. A AAA.. ’;•£ - -i:.
