The Haunting (1965) is based on the

A truly high-class horror flick, The

In contrast, The Night of the Living
Dead (196S) is described by film critic
David Maltin as "the most horrifying,
stomach-churning charnel in the history of
horror".
Made on an extremely low budget, The
Night of the living Dead has acquired a

who hail it as one of the greatest of all
horror films.
The double features begin tonight and -Saturday

Bob Dylan has never been one to put his arm gently
around you and show you the errors of your ways,
whether it be about loves gone by or his own past.
He is about as subtle as a two-by-four to the fore
head, and twice as potent.
When Dylan sings, "... the idiot wind, blowing every
time you move your mouth ,w you get the impression
that he is less than thrilled with his lady.
Songs like "Dirge, with the classic lines "... I don't
recall a single thing you ever done for me, except pat me
on the back one time when I was on my knees . . . and
"Positively 4th Street, are so dripping with bL: that you
wonder why Dylan didnt pick up a rifle long ago and
open up in the nearest crowded subway. .
Obviously Dylan's lyrics go much deeper and into
different areas than just his "I hate myself for loving you
songs. .
His influences are varied, everything from the sureal-
after
midnight
istic poetry of Rimbauld to the late gangster Joey GaUo's
demise in a Little Italy restaurant.
Even if you don't like riirn, Dylan's influence on just
about everything of worth in popular music is something
at which one can't scoff.

Air sculptures
felled by FAA
The sculpture launch was cancelled Thursday by
the Federal Aviation Mministration (FAA) because
of cloudy weather.
Howard Woody, a University of South Carolina
art professor, did not get his atmospheric sky sculp
tures launched because the FAA" requires 50 per
cent sky visibility. A higher percentage of cloudiness
would make the sculptures a hazard to aircraft, the
FAA said.
The sculpture flights have been rescheduled for
today at noon and 2 p jn. in the Sheldon Sculpture
Garden.
Set-up will begin an hour before the launch and
the public is invited to view the pre-Iaunch activities.
There will be a slide-lecture in the Nebraska
Union Main Lounge today at 11 ajn. describing the
helium-filled sculptures.

Review by Vi3 Huffman
Kemoupsska (Hollywood and Vine) is
an epic love story, told with an intense and
beautiful style.
The film is the work of French-Canadian
director Claude Jutra, and the stunn
ing locations in Quebec are used to maxi
mum effect.
Genevieve Eujold gives a magnificent
performance as the young heroine around
whom the passions swirL She is forced by
her family at an early age, to marry a rich
but vile neighbor and returns to her home.
. The young woman's passionate nature
attaches itself to the local doctor (Richard
Jordan) and the films spells out this violent
triansle to its violent conclusion.
The recreation of the French Canada of
the last century is beautifuSy done ia the
Cm. The settings have the look and feel of
total authenticity and the attention to
various period detaf a is meticulous.
Jutra uses a slow, dalierate style to
espbre the characters. Kctzoltzz

&s!ft beauty is expbited by Jutra ia
such a manner that there is little difficul

is stunning
whose drunken ess and irresponsibility are
set in stark contrast to the intense doctor
(Jordan) who ministers to the needs of the
local poor.
Seasonal changes are employed to give
the film its measured and deliberate pacing.
The lush summer is beautifully counter
pointed by a harsh Canadian winter, and
both are photographed with equally
dazzling clarity.
The winter scenes are especially notable.
Jutra and his cinematographer have colla
borated on some stunning snowscapes.
The background plays an integral part in
Kamoursshs, but it never intrudes on the
development of the powerfully romantic
triangle.
The passions of Kemoursska are intense
ly consuming and reach their logically vio
lent conclusion with the bloody confron
tation of Leotarde and Jordan. Th
violence of this sequence is shacking and
graphic, but it is entirely tustiTt? h
