i 4 The Daily T.ir Heel Tut.'sdiy K'bnt.ity 3 '''Ml Q rt - - . S 1 e ' s (ts -t t 1s jefc-s - w -.J Jean-l.ue Godard, the mosi critically esteemed and least commercially successful director of the Trench New Wave, returns to mainstream filmmaking after an "eight-year hiatus with Every Man for Himself, a demanding film essay about love, work, the media and a host of other subjects. Every Man for Himself, which Godard calls my second first film," is about three characters in a name less Swiss town whose empty lives are loosely intertwined. Paul Godard, played by Jacques Dutronc and named after Jean-Luc Godard's father, is a TV director whose life' is at loose ends. Nathalie Baye plays Denise, Godard's girlfriend, who is about to leave him. Isabel!?, played by Isabelle .Hubert, is a prostitute who has a rendezvous with Paul and wants to rent Denise's apartment. - ' Godard, in his shifts between the three characters, explores the boredom and monotony of modern life. His three main characters all feel trapped and 'unfulfilled by their lives. Each character is searching for some pleasure, some meaning in this Godardian world of absurdity. Yet, there is none to be had. The love affair between Paul and Denise is frustrat ing empty because they are afraid to connect. As Paul says, We can't seem to touch without bruising." isabelle's life is monotonous the metaphor of work as prostitution is one of Godard's favorites; he used it before in Vivre Sa Vie and Two or Three Things I Know About Her. For Isabella, going through the rigors of sex is mechanized. There are no feelings of love or excitement.; What Godard seems to be saying about the modern world is a bit obvious anyone who has not felt the meaninglessness of our world at some time must have been raised in Disneyland. His message, if you haven't seen the film, may seem too depressing. It's not really. Though the film is somewhat bleak it is at least tempered by Godard's wit. There are scenes where events are carried to the point of comic absurdity as when. Isabelle and another prostitute solicit two businessmen for a rather perverse act. Godard's char acters say "What's that music?" when they hear the background, music on the soundtrack, which adds another touch of levity to the film. Godard constantly questions, as he has always done in the past, the nature , of cinema. In Every Man for Himself a number o! visual techniques, most notably slow motion, are used to demonstrate his questions. Since Peckinpah used .slowed-down action in The Wild Bunch this technique has become a bit of a cine matic cliche, often misused by directors. With Godard, the technique becomes fresh again (though Pm sure others will poorly imitate what he's done with it). The action speeds up and slows down. Sometimes a frame is held for a . few seconds, a beautiful technique that emphasizes the grain and colors in the picture. Godard's credit on Every Man for Himself reads "A Film Composed By Jean-Luc Godard" and justly so. His work here is more than mere direction; it is an orchestration of image, sound, humor and insight not to be missed by anyone who takes film seriously.

No serious injuries were reported, however. Trudy Peppers, a secretary at N.C, Memorial Hospital, said 10 accident vic tims had been brought to NCMH since Friday. Most of the injured were treated and released, she said. Although the snowfall was enough to hamper traffic, its effect on the county's water supply was "nominal," said Everett Billingsley, executive director of the Orange Water and Sewer Authority. University Lake was raised only one-half inch, to 23 inches below normal, ElHlr.s!ey said. About five inches of snow is equi valent to aninch of rain, he added.
