"r-ilmas an art form has said much in the
last 60 years about war and peace. From
showing courage and valor to the folly of
war, from displaying its epic quality to its
utter absurdity, film has helped to shape
many contemporary attitudes about war and
peace," Dr. Samuel Williamson, associate
professor of history, says.
For that reason, the Curriculum in Peace,
War and Defense is offering a short film
series during the spring semester.
Through the films, the Curriculum hopes
to increase its contacts with the student
body.
The first film, "Battle of Algiers," will be

by Peter Hardy
Film Critic
Most people would agree that our present
day culture has an excess of the silly, the
insipid and the absurd. But there's lots of
good stuff that makes it bearable, right? In
Woody Allen's new movie. Steeper, he has
hit upon an inspired and almost gruesome
comic idea: Show a future society in which
only those three characteristics have
survived.
Allen plays a man who was frozen in 1973
nd awakens 200 years later in 2173. where
mankind is composed of the brainwashed
followers of the Big Brother-ish Leader.
Everyone is either frigid or impotent and
uses machines called orgasmatrons for sex:
people get high from feeling glowing orbs.
Workers confess their faults to a machine:
artists' parties are perhaps even sillier than
they are now; Rod McKuen is considered the
greatest poet.
Disguised as a robot. Allen faces the threat
of having his head changed and later is
pursued by a giant futuristic chicken. But he
ultimately rejects all society, pointing out
that the revolutionaries plotting to
overthrow the systemized society are just as

ridiculous as the minions of the lhe
Leader."
For the first time Alien docs not appear as
the total schlemicl (His name, this time, is
Miles Munroc. as opposed to earlier
characters as Allan Felix and Fielding
Melish). Instead, he is an ordinary man
dropped by fate into the midst of
extraordinary circumstances.
He is still clumsy, but no more so than
many people, and he docs manage to pull off
some tricky maneuvers. His character is
decidedly ChapUnesque which is significant
of the film in general. Allen's earlier films
were a loosely connected series of
absuridities. but he is now moving into more
stylized comic traditions. In Sleeper he uses
slapstick physical comedy, including
pratfalls (on giant banana peels). There is
also a chase through a robot factory that is
reminiscent of Chaplin's encounter with
technology in Modern Times.
The relationship between Allen's
character and his romantic interest. Luna
(played by Diane Keaton) also shows an
awareness of traditions. First, there is the
very pleasant theme of two people being
forced together in some stressed situation,
initially antagonistic towards each other but

eventually falling in love, which dates h.ick
at least to the 30s.
In addition, the way the two play oil ol
each other is quite similar to Buster Keaton's
use of his leading ladies. While Chaplin
always tended to put his women up on
a pcJcstal. to Keaton they were idiotic ct
desirable comic props. Allen de-chauinics
this somewhat by making Miles almost as
incompetent as I. una; yet. there is no
questioning Luna's dippiness. Her idea ol a
deep question isIid you ever realie that
God spelled backwards is dogT
The film docs have its share ol typicallv
irrelsvant Allen moments, such as jibes
against drus. Miss America contests and
one scene in which Allen apparently full ills a
lifetime ambition to play Blanche DuBois.
As a total film. Sleeper may be the best
Allen has made, it certainly is his best job oi
direction. He has already proved himself a
master of satirizing cinematic genres such
as the 50's horror movie and Antonionni
takeoffs in hwryihing You Alw ays H awed
To Know About Se.x and here he satiries
science fiction films with great success. He is
reviving classic styles of comedy that are
worthy of revival and has produced a
sustained, valid comic work.
