OCTOBER 22, 1980 THE TWIG PAGE 5 A new wave in movies? Movie review: ‘Breaking Glass’ by Ann Stringfieid Broken glass. Shattered civilization. Fragments of human beings. Punk, new wave - whatever you wish to call it. It is a vast wasteland of strobe lights, pink hair and violence. This is the focus of the new movie “Breaking Glass.’’ So what sort of movie is “Breaking Glass’’? Is it a documentary? No, Dan Rather’s not in it. Is it a musical? No, although Hazel O’Conner shouts thirteen of her own songs in it. Is it a war movie? Yes, that’s it.'It has Nazis and violence. A war movie. A war presupposes a conflict between twoor more parties. In “Breaking Glass” there are the two requsite sides: youth and The Establishment. And what is youth’s grief with The Establishment? It is established. Oh, horrors. The Establishment is established and everyone knows what that means .... Yes! Law and or der. So how does youth combat this horror of horrors ? Anarchy, self-expression and ... pink hair. Our hero - no, sorry. New wave hasn’t any heroes - our new wave rising star is Kate, portrayed by Hazel O’Conner, a rising star in her own right. Kate is a very in-depth person. She knows what she’s for (herself) and against (everyone else). Then there’s her . ■ . j..„ - ^ I A > j ii W t« ..-jtj *j v. • •• i.illt .. 1. -.jy; -ij .J “rlw’ boyfriend, portrayed by Phil Daniels. Her relationship with him eventually fizzles as she becomes a neurotic drug addict and a general success in the music business. Success is her problem. By becoming a success she has sold herself out, or so the plot of the movie goes. This is all very nice but.it is as one character in the movie said: “I can appreciate it but sometimes I just long for John Lennon.” Paramount Pictures presents An Allied Stars Production. Phil Daniels, Hazel O’Connor, and Jon Finch. “Breaking Glass.” Executive Producer Dodi Fayed. Produced by Davina Belling and Clive Parsons. Written and Directed by Brian Gibson.
