Aud. A., Revolution at 7, Stratagem at 9) - A pair of relatively un- known films by Bernardo Berto- lucci (Last Tango in Paris.) I'm not very familiar with eith- er offering, but their dates in- termingle with both The Con- formist - one of the most bril- liant motion pictures ever made - a n d Partner, conceivably the most utterly non-cinematic venture this side of Andy War- hol. It's up to you to take a chance, folks.

A 1964 film just recently released in this country, and said to be quite good.

Aud. A., 7 & 9)-Feature-length Chaplin film about a downtrodden soul so unintentionally f u n n y that it wins him a place in a circus clown act. This picture was al- most totally ignored until the last six or seven years, but cer- tainly ranks among Chaplin's very best. **** Every Man for Himself and God Against All - (Ann Arbor Film Co-op, Ang.

Jan Kadar film about one family's joys and sOTOws and a love all families will want to share. .t A., 7 & 9) - Film by German director Werner Herzog about a nameless, pastless man who simply appears in 19th-Century Germany, then wanders about surveying a surrealist pageant of the darkness of man's heart (Herzog employed an actual mental patient as his strange protagonist). The film has been the recipient of wildly varying critical responses, but TIME'S Jay Cocks loathes it - which may be the best recommenda- tion for it available.

Aud., 7:30 & 9:35) - A rather negligible 1932 comedy, noteworthy only as the lone team-up of Clark Gable and Carole Lombard in a film. They've both done much better, separately. ** The Adventures of Robin Hood - (Ann Arbor Film Co- op, MLB 3, 7 & 9 - Splashy, exciting '50's version of the hero of Sherwood Forest. The Confession - (Ann Ar- bor Film Co-op, MLB 4, 7 only) - An absolutely wrenching drama by Costa Garvras (Z), about the efforts of interroga- tors to force a Czechoslovokian Communist official (Yves Mon- tand) to recant his sins during the Czech purge of the late '40's. Brutally unrelenting as a study in brainwashing, The Confession is also the tragedy of a committed idealist de- stroyed by the very system he helped create. A rough film for audiences to take, but none- less the best bet of the week The Conformist - (Ann Arbor Film Co-op, MLB 4, 9:30 only) - A young Italian joins Mus- solini's secret police in order to gain a feeling of emotional solidity in an increasingly un- stable society. The film's pre- vailing theory that moral per- version led to the political in- sanity of the time may be questioned, but Bernardo Ber- tolucci's directorial abilities are so awesome that they to- tally envelop any thematic shortcomings that may exist. A preverse and brilliant film. **** The Killing of a Chinese Bookie - (Cinema I1, Ang. Aud. A, 7:30 & 9:45) - Ann Arbor premiere of John Cassa- vetes' latest film, with Ben Gazzara.
