ROBERTO ROSSELLINI'S 11
RISE TO POWER OF LOUIS XIV
167
Made originally for French TV, this is a candid view of the
ways in which the young, determined Louis XIV broke the
power of the restive nobles and reduced them to servants or
lookers-on during the grand ceremonials he devised at Ver-
sailles. A vividly colorful and insightful depiction of the back-
ground, manners and morals of the age.

DEADINE OCTOGER 16th
By DAN WEISS
The capital of American folk music in
the early 1960s was Greenwich Village,
New York. It was there that Bob Dylan,
Jack Elliot and company played folk
music in the Woody Guthrie-Leadbelly
tradition. Rock and Roll dealt that a
death blow, and by 1966 the folk era had
ended.]
In the early 1970's, however, a "new"
folk movement arose centered in the
clubs and coffeehouses of Chicago.
Such artists as Steve Goodman and
John Prine led the next generation of
folk singers with their less folky, more
pop oriented sound. Instead f relying on
old and reworked folk standards, they
wrote their own brand of high energy,
contemporary sounding songs (like
Goodman's "City of New Orleans").
his Texas-twanged sweet vocals that
rise from his throat pure as a winter
dawn. In "Marblehead Morning" the
sound of the lyrics and his guitar
meshed perfectly to describe a Cape
Cod town, with the last notes gently
sailing away on an Atlantic breeze. In
Richard Nevelle's "Rachel You're a
River," Post's playing wound and
flowed with the casually bending river
of love.
In the best Chicago folk tradition,
Post's songs are charged with a
pulsating energy and often have pop
hooks. Post even dedicated one song,
"Don't You Feel Like Dancing," to Ray
Charles, Peggy Lee, and Little Milton.
It's a song about "taking (musical)
chances," combining sounds from the
outer limits of the folk idion, as his
mentors frequently do.
Unlike most of his contemporaries,
Post's music is not urban-based. In-
stead, his songs of celebration are from
his native Bible belt southwest, typified
by both religious and sexual fervor. A
new song, "Hot Summer Night," cap-
tures the dual spirituality and sen-
suality of the southwest by describing
lovemaking during a hometown
revival. Post mixes the gospel verve in
his inspired guitar picking with the
loving tenderness in his velvet voice
and bakes them together with Texas
heat. The evocative singing on his hip-
tainted gospel song "Walk on Water"
further conveys his rejoicing in these
intertwining forces of the southwest.
IN THE tradition of Goodman and
Prine, Post's spiritual vigor is best
translated into song during a live per-
formance. Post fills his concerts with
his gospel-charged sensual drive. He
does not merely sing; rather, his music
comes alive as he utilizes his own horn
section and Pips-like backup singers on
soulful songs like "Don't You Feel Like
Dancing." His animated vocals draw
the audience into singing along without
his prompting, as in "I Ain't Going
Nowhere Because I'm Already Here."
Post maintains his serious passion as
he plays his Bible belt ballads, using his
soul-laden voice and thunderclap guitar
playing. His performing philosophy of
"being relaxed and singing from
emotion" was maintained throughout
the show.
The songs Post sings are filled with
the "Jesus, love and pain, death and
birth" of his south Texas roots, sung
with a Grapes of Wrath earnestness,
and a Chicago style liveliness. Although
he only writes "about what [know," his
guitar playing, singing, and performing
enable us to share in the knowledge,
wisdom, and celebration of Jim Post's
visions.

THE BIG l4ACIL-tFr
JIM POST is a product of the Chicago
folk movement, and its influence on
him was evident as he brought his
homespun celebration songs to Man-
chester's intimate Black Sheep Reper-
tory Theatre Monday and Tuesday.
From the time Post strolled on stage
the audience was his. Post's first song,
"Joy and Jubilation", set the tone for
the evening as his sharp guitar playing
and smooth voice carried the crowd
along. By the time he sang "everyday
of my life is celebration" in "I Love My
Life" (from his new album of the same
name), Post's contagious spirit of hap-
piness and celebration had infected and
charmed the crowd.
Post's brand new guitar and his
unique style of strumming it past the
sound hole (well beyond where most
people strum) combined to produce a
resonant, crisp sound that he used to
capture the heart and substance of his
songs. In,"Legend of Windigo, his
playing rasied the misty spectres of,
dark rain forests, and in "Hot Cross
Wind" one could feel the sun-baked air.

Laurence Olivier, as Ezra Lieber-
mann, imparts to his character sub-
tleties of personality and a depth Af
humanitarianism that is quite im-
pressive. He gives the tired, old Jew, a
comical stubbornness and senility at
times, an almost pitiful determination
driven by intense emotion at other
times, and finally a loving wisdom born
of age with which all his actions are
tainted. It is a testimony to Olivier's ac-
ting skills that he can make Lieber-
mann as honorable a figure as he could
make his other Jew, Shylock,
dishonorable.
Unfortunately, The Boys From Brazil
is an ineffectual film, never quite clear
enough to be fully understood or in-
distinct enough to be boring. It is a film
without focus, a frustrating picture that
promises much but delivers little.
