C-uOIKlHY'S Across From Glen Lennox 1 ango 'painful, For weeks now I've been sitting at my post just inside the door of the Varsity Theater and listening to the comments of people coming in past the coming attractions poster for "Last Tango in Paris. Oh man they say, "can you believe that is coming here! Wow, that's supposed to be really far out." Well, gosh, I guess it is. But it's not a skin flick like 'Deep Throat' as many people seem to think and it's not even the kind of "heavy," audience pleasing film that "Clockwork Orange or Fellini's films are. It's a very difficult and painful viewing experience and I can understand why some people retreat from its harshness and call it merely disgusting. The sex scenes are pretty graphic but hardly arousing, so don't go see the film for some thrills. Now that we've got that question out of the way, just how good a film is it, anyway? I consider it a great film, though not perfect, and probably the most revolutionary thing to hit cinema since Orson Welles made "Citizen Kane, thirty-two years ago. But where Welles took possibilities in technique that film makers had ignored for years and fulfilled them until they exploded on the screen, Bernardo Bertolucci in "Last Tango in Paris" uses the hidden thematic possibilities that films have been toying w ith for years but never fulfilled. Bertolucci's directing abilities art completely thrilling and satisfactory - his sweeping style combines - as did that of Welles the force and glamor and beauty and intelligence of both American and foreign films. You can't complain that as a director he is dull, as you can easily of Bergman and Antonioni, but you can also never accuse him of the emptiness of many American directors. His use of Gato Barbieri's brilliant jazz score is phenomenal, adding tones and moods to the film instead of just heightening emotions. In all aspects the film is completely overwhelming, which is why people tend to either love it or hate it - it's impossible to be indifferent. Bettolucci's control is so complete that "Last Tango" is very much a director's picture, but it is centered around an actor. Ward concert planned Composer and Christian singer Jim Ward will combine his diverse musical talents on Friday at 8 p.m. in a free concert in Memorial Hall. The 23-year-old son of a Reformed Presbyterian minister. Ward accompanies his rhythm-and-blues gospel singing on the piano. Besides performing on stage, he also sets lyrics from the Bible to music. Ward studied piano, voice, organ and performed with several musical groups at Covenant College in Lookout Mt., Tenn. The UNC Inter-Varsity Christian Fellowship will sponsor the concert.

ALL WEEK 7 nr aijjicuu, great The past associations we have with a star have always shed an interesting light on their performances; Bertolucci made the role of Paul, a Henry Millcr-esque American in Paris, fit around Marlon Brando and all the memories we have of his wandering, puzzling career. There are overtones of his past screen roles such as "Streetcar Named Desire" and "On the Waterfront" and connections with Tahiti and Japan. "I must have been called by a hundred different names" Brando says in the film and it's certainly as true of the actor as of the character. The uncertainty and multiplicity of identities is at the core of the film. This is obvious just from a s surface description of the plot the aging, tortured American exile in Paris and the young French girl who agree to meet and have sex in an mpty apartment without telling each other their names. Brando's performance would not be the same if her were not Brando, but it is not simply an actor plaing himself. John Barrymore did something like it with his portrayal of the fading actor in "Dinner At Eight, but here it is a hunre times more intense. Brado plays his private self and his public self and also a character namd Paul, all of whom re separate yet inexorably linked. It is perhaps the most complex performance ever put on the screen. Brando's power is almost intimidating. During his most painful and revealing scenes such as when he talks to his wife's corpse-the audience often cannot take it and cu:s itself off from him by laughing. He also tends to overshadow the rest of the film. The scenes between the girl and her film maker fiance are engaging enough but seem trivial compared to the scenes of Paul's private life. In Lyndsay Anderson's "O, Lucky Man1" a similar use is attempted to be made of its star, Malcolm McDowell. Structured as an episodic talc of the adventrucs of Mick McDowell himself was once a coffee salesman it appears that the film tells a wildly exagerrated version of McDowell's own rise to success. That the film is somewhat of a disappointment is not due either to any failings of McDowell as an actor or his lack of interest as a personality he is a good actor, though as a personality he is considerably less fascinating than Brando. The script is entertaining enough and well written; the cast, many of whome appear in several roles, is quite good. Alan Price's songs provide a sharp commentary on the action and is probably the best rock score yet w ritten for a film. But even if the film is intellectually sound- and I have my doubts about that there is nothing behind the intelligence. Like "If. . ."'there seems to have been very little feeling put into the film, it is so cold that most of its good points seem rather superfluous. The result is a film with a dazzling surface and little else. czs-i . ...... ivV If rltVr O r I I I I " - - " 11:30 a.m. 2:30 p.m. LUNCKEON SPECIAL SMALL PIZZA WITH Salad ONE TOPPING Coffee Or Tea $1.25 Plus Tax TRY OUR HOT SUB SANDWICHES!
