Sutherland's 'Rosary Murders'
Performance Intense, Powerful

MORT ZIEVE

Special to The Jewish News

T

he Rosary Murders
(rated: R) is a great
chiller-thriller in the
Hitchcock tradition. You don't
want to miss this one.
It glued me to my seat and
then blasted me out of it with
some of the scariest effects
ever. I jumped so vigorously at
one point that I almost
demolished the person next to
me.
The basic plot device is sim-
ple but extremely effective. A
series of apparently random
murders of priests and nuns
takes place. There is no ap-
parent connection between
the murders and no obvious
reason for the seemingly
senseless killings. Then, sud-
denly, the killer comes to con-
fession and tells a priest: "I'm
the one."
The big question is: what
can the priest do to stop the
killer without breaking the
"confessional seal?"
The priest, torn by this
dilemma, Father Koesler, is
played by Donald Sutherland.
He gives one of his most in-
tense and powerful perfor-
mances. The tension builds
relentlessly from the moment
Sutherland begins tracking
the killer until the final shat-
tering climax.
Charles Durning is rich and
colorful as Sutherland's
superior, Father Nabors.
Where Sutherland inter-
nalizes and plays with great
density, Durning is broad,
open, hearty and extroverted.
The two balance each other
beautifully and make a
stimulating new screen team.
Sequel, anyone?
Unless you have been away
at the North Pole, you have
seen some of the local media
attention
The Rosary
Murders has been getting. So
you know that this is a made-
in-Detroit film, created by
producer Bobby Laurel.

Yes, the same Bobby Laurel,
whose piono playing and sing-
ing we've all enjoyed around
town, generated this produc-
tion. It took years of struggle
and faith, but Laurel pulled it
off. He has come up with a
gripping, stylish, first-class
production.
If for no other reason (and
there are plenty of other
reasons), you should go to see
Rosary for all the familiar
sights and sounds of Detroit,
like the voice of J. P. McCar-

Donald Sutherland has the lead in "The Rosary Murders."

thy and the on-screen ap-
pearance of Doris Biscoe.
Talented local thesp Anita
Barone gets billing with the
top six stars and does a
noticeably good job in her
vignette. Other Detroiters
who appear to their credit are
Ed Oldani, Sandy Broad,
Bethany Carpenter, Keith
Brooks nd a slew of others.
It will come as no great sur-
prise to anyone that musician
Bobby Laurel, working with'
another Detroiter, Don
Sebesky, has come up with an
especially effective music
track. It has a big, lush sound
and contributes a great deal
of suspense.

W

ish You Were Here
(rated: R) was some-
what disappointing.
It's gotten raves from so many
reviewers that I expected it to
be a lot more entertaining
that it was.
True, there are fresh, funny

bits and some wonderful per-
formances. But along with
these oases of liveliness there
are some slow, dry stretches
to get through.
Emily Lloyd plays a
15-year-old rebel against con-
ventionality who is just
discovering sex and is deter-
mined to try it out. She does.
And some of the scenes are
very funny. But just as many
are touching and poignant.
You might want to see this
one just to see Lloyd. She is
an original: spontaneous,
ebullient, ingratiating.

The other main asset is the
photogrphy. It is beautiful.
The quality and color of the
light, the compositon, the art
direction — all are
impeccable.
Just be prepared, if you go,
for an honest but measured
character study with some
wry moments, not a fast-
paced comedy.

Sabi Yar' Symphony
Performance Slated

The newly-formed Jewish
Community Associa-
tion/United Jewish Appeal of
Washtenaw County will co-
sponsor a performance of
Dimitri Shostakovich's 13th
Symphony, popularly known
as the Babi Yar, in the
Michigan Theater in Ann Ar-
bor at 3:30 p.m. Sept. 27, per-
formed by the Ann Arbor
Symphony.
JCA/UJA has developed a
"package deal" that includes
a full day of cultural activity
in Ann Arbor, with time to
return to Detroit before dark.
Patrons can attend a lecture
at 11 a.m. by Prof. Zvi
Gitelman of the U-M Depart-
ment of Political Science, on
"The Meaning of Babi Yar:
From Stalin to Gorbachev,"

and partake of a Russian
dairy buffet. Both these
events will take place at the
Jewish Community Center,
-2935 Birch Hollow Dr., Ann
Arbor (formerly Clinton
School).
Guests will then proceed to
a lecture by David Haas on
"Shostakovich's Symphony
No. 13 after 25 Years," spon-
sored by the Center for
Eastern European Studies
and held at the University of
Michigan's Lane Hall at 1:30
p.m. The ticket includes ad-
mission to the performance of
the symphony itself at 3:30
p.m. at the Michigan Theater.
For tickets, call JCA/UJA,
747-9020 during business
hours, or 761-2836, evenings
and weekends.
