CINEMA,
The Wild Bunch (Angell Aud A, 7:00
only) Sam Peckinpah directed this
tremendously controversial western.
Definitely should be seen by all. ***%
Porcile (Pig Pen) (Angell Aud A, 9:30
only) A pretentious parable, directed
by Pier Paolo Pasolini. Bunuel without
class. *%1/a
Bicycle Thief (Old A & D, 7:00 and
9:05) A classic neo-realist drama, this
early Vittorio De Sica film tells the

times almost unbearably moving. ****
