For t hree bucks, all you got was a movie. For $3.50, you get the feat ure film plus a reel of pre views 'and a couple of pre-movie advertisements. It's the ads that give you the real bargain. These are not just your garden variety, buy-my-product-please ads, but rather the state of the art in Fanavi sion panhandling, as determined at the greately underpublicized Cannes Pre-Movie Advertising Film Festival. Noted highbrow film critic Bernard Chartreuse filed this report from Cannes: "Once again, the beautiful people and the beautiful weather met in Cannes to see the finest pre-movie commercials the world has to ower. Everybody you talked to had a new rumor; one said Jackie Onassis was here with Bjorn Borg, another that Borg was here with Brigette Bardot, another that Bardot was here with Hod Stewart, and another that Ste wart was here with Jackie Onassis. Suffice it say that everybody was here with everybody, all to see that most rare and desirable of commodities a good ad. The three American entries were judiciously spaced, with one each day of the three-day festival. The American reputation as the forerunner in this art took a tumble the first day, as Parker Brothers' forgettable 1 lot Video' met with hostile reviews. " 'Hot Video' promised from the out set to be a probing look at obsession in general, and video game obsession in particular. It quickly became evident, however, that the director had let his camera stray too far and wide, as it winds its way from scene-to scene of single-minded video game playing, never lingering long enough to find out what drives these people to do what they do. We do not know what moti vates these characters. "Perhaps the disaster of 'Hot Video' on the first day was all to the good, as the next Ai '.erican entry, 'We're All Disposable Here,' fared so well in the comparison. 'We're All Disposable 1 lere is the timeless and almost uncons ciously simple story of three friends who go to t he movies. The throe friends, masterfully played by Bic shavers, use the simple act of Ieavmg a wrapper in the theater as a springboard to a mov ing st udy of what motivates people to live within rules of conduct set down by the society in which they live. The animated Bic shavers, in their simplicity, give us what 'Hot Video' in its complexity could not believable characters. The three shavers who share the spotlight in this advertise ment barken back to the dancing pop corn box in 'Go On Out to the Lobby the seminal work in this field that was playing drive-ins a decade ago and probably still gets screen time in a few outposts. "In t he course of 'We're All Disposa ble Here Bic posits that a force outside the individual and more powerful than the individual it may be a supreme being, it may be collective will holds out the threat of punishment, even eternal punishment, to keep indi viduals in line. The point is driven home rather emphatically at the end, when an unattached voice coldly in tones, 'We're all disposable here.' The implications, first that people, even people depicted as Bic shavers, are not basically good; and second, that some how your misdeeds, no matter how minute, will be found out and pun ished, are frightening. "After the success of 'We're All Dis posable Here the audience at Cannes hardly expected to see anything bet ter, but they were pleasantly surprised when the last American entry, 'Playin' it Kool proved to be just that.
