- Before the Revolution – review
The 22-year-old Bertolucci made an impressive debut in 1962 with The Grim Reaper, a Rashomon-style thriller about the murder of a prostitute scripted by his mentor, Pier Paolo Pasolini. But it was his second film, Before the Revolution (1964), now rereleased to accompany a well-deserved retrospective at London's BFI Southbank, that made his name. Semi-autobiographical, partly inspired by Stendhal's The Charterhouse of Parma, and set in 1962 in his native Parma, the film is deeply indebted to the French new wave and centres on Fabrizio, a 20-year-old introspective haut bourgeois student both attracted to and repelled by middle-class conformity and revolutionary Marxism. He has an incestuous affair with his attractive young aunt (a recurrent theme in Bertolucci's work), and it is altogether a dazzling film, both continually vital and something of a time capsule. I think, however, that his best movies are The Conformist, The Spider's Stratagem, the first part of 1900, and, with reservations, his version of one of my favourite novels, Paul Bowles's The Sheltering Sky.Bernardo BertolucciDramaRomanceWorld cinemaItalyPhilip Frenchguardian.co.uk © Guardian News & Media Limited 2011 | Use of this content is subject to our Terms & Conditions | More Feeds

- Black Chiffon – review
White Bear, LondonThe textbooks all tell us that postwar British theatre, prior to the Royal Court revolution of the mid-1950s, was as arid as the Gobi desert. But a popular myth, lately dented by revivals of Terence Rattigan and Graham Greene, is further punctured by this production of Lesley Storm's intriguing family drama, which ran for 409 performances in 1949. What it proves is that women writers then were as alert as modern feminists to the menace of a patriarchal society.Storm's heroine, Alicia, is a supposedly average middle-class woman. Not that average, perhaps, since she lives in a plush house on the Chelsea Embankment. But the crisis arises when she's arrested for nicking a black chiffon nightdress from a department store on the eve of her son's wedding. Under questioning from a psychiatrist, it emerges that Alicia has been driven by a subconscious desire to compete with her future daughter-in-law and is the pivotal figure in an Oedipal drama in which father and son are bitterly at odds.The big question is whether Alicia will expose the family's dark secrets to save herself going to prison. But, although I could live without a superfluous final scene that wraps everything up too neatly, Storm is very good at exposing the pressures women faced in the male-dominated late-1940s: without a hint of bludgeoning didacticism, she shows that they were expected to sacrifice themselves on the altar of the dominating male ego. And the point emerges subtly in Andy Brunskill's Tough Theatre company revival. Maggie Daniels as Alicia hits just the right note of bourgeois inhibition and, even if Keith Chanter is a shade too vehement as her bullying husband, Gary Heron is excellent as the humane shrink who probes the muddy waters of English family life.Until 30 January. ホワイトベアーは、LondonTheの教科書のすべての戦後の英国は、劇場、1950年代半ばのロイヤルコート革命する前に、としてゴビ砂漠の乾燥されたことを教えて下さい

- Cuba: a revolution in the rough | Isabel Hilton
Fifty years after Fidel and Che mocked golf, Cuba's regime is in thrall to this most ungreen of activitiesDrive along the coast road in Cuba that passes the Bay of Pigs in spring or early summer, and you risk a distressing sight: a stretch of road, some 20 miles long, carpeted in a thick coating of crushed crabs.Cuba's red land crabs have evolved to live in the moist tropical forests, but every year the females return to the sea to breed. For tens of thousands of years, this mass migration was not a problem; then Cuba's planners built a trunk road straight through the migration route. It could only have one result – an uneven contest between crab and truck. They keep on coming, big red female crabs, rearing up with their claws to slash at vehicles, before being smashed to bits.Driving across the crunching layer of crab, I began to suspect that environmental impact assessments did not count for much in Cuba's planning process. The news that the government is planning to cover much of the island in golf courses suggests, in that respect at least, that not much has changed.There is a history to Cuba's affair with this most bourgeois of games. Before the 1959 revolution Cuba hosted golf as well as gambling in its role as North America's tropical playground. After the revolution, both pursuits fell out of favour, symbols of an alien decadence that had no place in the new workers' paradise. When Che Guevara and Fidel Castro were photographed playing a round of golf in 1961, just a month before the Bay of Pigs invasion, the intent was not to rehabilitate the game, or even to take possession of it. The two revolutionaries played in their customary fatigues and their technique did not convince. The image they presented was satiric and defiant, like a pair of schoolboys driving a フィデルとチェ50年後にゴルフを嘲笑、キューバの政権は奴隷の中にactivitiesDriveのこの最も環境に有害なため、キューバの春や夏の初めに湾を豚の通過海岸道路に沿って、あなたは悲惨な光景を：道のストレッチリスク、約20マイル、砕いたcrabs.Cuba。。u0026#39;の。膜コーティングでカーペットだ赤い土地カニ湿潤熱帯林に住んで進化してきたが、毎年海に女性のリターンを繁殖に長い
