From Staff and Wire Reports
While Tar Heels basketball fans

mony offered a few surprises to movie
buffs.
The British film Chariots of Fire,
about two Olympic athletes, won the
Oscar for best film of 1981. Katherine
Hepburn received her fourth Academy
Award and Henry Fonda won his first
for their portrayals of an elderly cou
ple in On Golden Pond.
Awards for best performances in
supporting roles went to Sir John
Gielgud for Arthur and Maureen
Stapleton for Reds.
Reds, an epic on the life of Ameri
can radical John Reed, received 12
nominations but did not sweep the
awards. The film finished the evening

'Frankenstein9 frightening play ;
lighting, scenery produce effect
By JEFF GROVE
Assistant Arts Editor
So you say you know the story of Mary
Shelley's Frankenstein! If your knowledge
comes from films starring Boris Karloff
or Christopher Lee, you probably do not..
If, however, you choose to see the depart
ment of dramatic art's world premiere of
Professor Russell Graves' adaptation of
the novel, you probably will. Franken
stein opens tonight in Playmakers Theatre
for a weekend run, and promises to be an
exhilarating theatrical experience.
Priscilla Bratcher, director of audience
development for the department, said,
"In this production, Dr. Graves has at
tempted to recreate the experience of
reading the novel for the first time by the
use of unusual lighting and staging tech
niques." ' . '
This adaptation emphasizes Victor
Frankenstein's obsession with creating ,
life and his subsequent loneliness. The
aim is not so much to frighten as to be
frightening. Graves, who also serves as
director for the show, said, "A produc
tion of Frankenstein should be scary in a
more profound way, as it demonstrates
the disaster that results when humans
challenge nature "
Graves has designed the play to be per
formed on a bare stage, using lighting
and costumes to recreate the brooding
mood of the novel. The production style
is reminiscent of Perhaps Hamlet,
another play written and directed by
Graves, .which was performed to great ac
claim last year in the laboratory theatre.
The play explores the novel rather than
simply standing it up on stage, yet Graves
feels that his study is faithful to the spirit
of the Shelley novel certainly more so
" than past Frankenstein films.
The cast is composed of undergradu
ates, some of whom are familiar to area
audiences. Caspar Thompson, who
played Rev. Frank Thomson in Outward
Bound this fall, plays the lead role of Vic
tor. His fiancee, Elizabeth, is played by
Meg Wood, seen last year as Nicole in
The Would-Be Gentleman. And Lori Jef
ferson, who appeared as Phaedra in last
spring's Hipploytus, plays Mary Shelley.
Frankenstein, performed without an
intermission, plays at 8 tonight through
Saturday. There will be a matinee at 2
p.m. Sunday. Tickets are $4.50 for
general public and $3.50 for students. For
reservations or more information call
962-1121. .

Although most directors who produce movies for
fun-loving American audiences shy away from
political content, a few commercial films produced in
the United States have attacked government institu
tions and public figures. Director Costa-Garvas, a
native of Greece, chose a more difficult task in
"Missing. "
The film presents the distrubing story of the disap
pearance of a young American named Charles Hor
man (John Shea) following the 1973 coup that
brought General Augusto Pinochet to power in
After frustrating attempts in Washington to
discover what has happened to his son, Edward Hor
man (Jack Lemmon) arrives in nightmarish Santiago.
He visits the office of the American ambassador first.
The American officials turn out to be less than
helpful in Horman's search for his son. The crew at
the embassy is portrayed as being incompetent and
occasionally villainous, as if it combined the worst
characteristics of Maxwell Smart and K.A.O.S.
Edward and his daughter-in-law Beth, played by
Sissy Spacek, become closer and closer during the
search. Interviews with neighbors who witnessed
Charles' capture, and visits to hospitals and morgues
prove fruitless. Harmon's initial uneasiness about the
U.S. officials turns to contempt, while his respect for
his vanished son grows as he learns more an more
about Charles' life in Chile.
review
Costa-Garvas depicts post-coup Santiago as an
eerie, almost surreal city. Without relying on ex
cessive gore, he makes it clear that violence continues
well after the coup. In one scene, Horman looks
through a hospital for his son as a maniacal, dwarf
runs through the hall ' screaming, "otroy-otro"
("another, another") and a nameless body floats by
in the river below the window.
In 1971, Costa-Garvas explained his goals as a
filmmaker: 'what I am trying to do in my films, is to
inspire an awareness of what is happening in tHe
politicized world of ours.'
In Missing, he accomplishes this and much more.
