wins rave reviews at Cannes
Analysis by Pat Clark
Sure, a movie costs $3.50 in Lincoln
these days, and it used to only cost
three bucks; but you are gett ing mueh
more for your money. 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.
