the world.
The emotional pitch is kept very high.
However, the overwrought dialogue,
and sometimes the majestic score,
often go too far. Yet for those willing
to invest two and a half hours to*
succumb to the film’s extravagant
passions, none of this detracts from
the picture’s mesmerizing power.
Indochine’s parade of splendid images
will haunt our dreams. Rated R.

events and doomed love (with
doomed love too often taking center
stage). The story focuses on a French
plantation owner (Catherine
Deneuve), her adopted Asian daughter
(Linnh Dan Pham), and the French
naval officer (Vincent Perez) whom
both of them love.
The film is simply great to look at.
Throughout, the director (Regis
Wargnier) uses haunting images of
fire and water to create magical
juxtapositions. Wargnier has the gift
of finding these, and other potent
images, to evoke time and place. He
distills the essence of theme and
character while fitting together a vast
tapestry rich with detail of three very
different societies: French colonial,
AN OVERLOOKED GEM
THE STUNT MAN: (1980) Starring
Peter O’Toole and Barbara Hershey.
An escaped criminal (Steve Railsack)
gets himself and a mad-genius Christ-
figure, director Eli Cross (Peter
O’Toole), out of hot water by filling
in for a dead stuntman. The Stunt
Man is a bumptious and beautiful
movie, perhaps the best ever made
about the movie business (and shot at
that marvelous old Southern
California hotel, the Del Coronado).
Learning to leap tall buildings or fall
several stories, Lucky, as Cross
christens the fugitive, discovers a
great deal more than sleight-of-hand
acrobatics in this dizzying world of
illusion. He meets an old woman
who, pulling off her rubber face,
reveals herself to be the leading lady
(Barbara Hershey), and naturally, he
falls madly in love with her. Does she
love him back, or is it all pretense?
Does Cross have the same fate in
store for him as that of the dead
stuntman? Is he - pun intended • the
fall guy? And who’s to be trusted in
this crazy business, anyway? Rated R.
Four Boxes
Catherine Deneuve
Most of her best films have not been
imported to the U.S. And, in most of
her American films she was not wisely
used. However, one movie now on
video and well worth renting is...
THE UMBRELLAS OF CHERBOURG:
(1964) A bittersweet film opera (all
the dialogue is sung), this is simply
the most romantic film to come from
France in the 1960s. Catherine
Deneuve made her first popular
American appearance in this movie
and the U.S. has been madly in love
with her ever since. It’s a simple story
- boy meets girl - but it is played
against a luxurious backdrop. The
exquisite score is by Michel Legrand.
Try to catch the original version with
subtitles because dubbing hurts the
original effect. See this with someone
you love. Not rated. Would be a PG.
Four Boxes
NEW VIDEO RELEASE
A LEAGUE OF THEIR OWN: (1992)
Starring Geena Davis and Toni Hanks.
Formed in 1943 as a wartime
stopgap, the All American Girls
Professional Baseball League turned
out so well that it lasted until 1954.
In Penny Marshall’s film, the Rockford
(Illinois) Peaches make the big plays
on the field and mature as women off
it. Behind the plate is the catcher
Dottie Hinson (Geena Davis), a star
with an attitude, and patrolling
center field is the ribald former taxi
dancer Mae Mordabito (Madonna). In
the dugout Tom Hanks, as the boozy
manager Jimmy Dugan, heads a
superb ensemble cast in a very funny
movie that manages to score a few
points for feminism. Rated PG.
Four Boxes
Asian elite
Indochinese.
The action takes place in the
Indochina of 1930, when a communist
revolution is threatening French rule,
twenty-five years before the region
gained independence and was divided
into Laos, Vietnam and Cambodia.
The script is sometimes expository
rather than dramatic, but it’s not
simplistic. Indochine captures the
arrogance of the French landowners
without turning them into monsters,
and while it is sympathetic to the
Asian revolutionaries, it also hits at
the frightening single-mindedness of
the future Vietnamese communists.
Deneuve plays Eliane, the stately
blond who operates the rubber
plantation her father owns, without
flinching. Bom and raised near
Saigon, she feels herself to be more
Asian than French - "a succulent
mango, not a crisp apple." Her tightly
controlled performance seems exactly
the right way to play this complex
woman. Yet she also lets you see the
cracks in the cool exterior, especially
in revealing Eliane’s love for her
daughter, whom she is raising in the
grand colonial style. Catherine
Deneuve, magnificently beautiful, is
simply one of the ageless wonders of

INDOCHINE: Starring Catherine
Deneuve. There is, with Deneuve’s
nomination for Best Actress, new
focus on this old-fashioned European
epic. Because (unfortunately) the film
is not in general release it will be
hard to find. If you are fortunate
enough to see the film in a theater -
do so. If not, put it at the top of
your video list.
With operatic passion and cinematic
beauty, Indochine combines love and
war to tell its story of folly, fury and
suffering in the waning days of
French colonial dominion in Southeast
Asia. It isn’t a subtle picture, but it is
always absorbing, unabashedly hitting
big emotional chords with its point-
counterpoint of impassioned political
