Before viewing Federico Fellinls "And
the Ship Sails On," currently showing at
the Sheldon Film Theatre, the audience
receives some valuable advice: Suspend
adult lclc for two hours, "simply let the
images on the screen flow . . . and be
beguiled by the wonderment of the
spectacle."
If followed, the audience makes thb
film an enjoyable experience.
Federico Fellini, a celebrated Italian
director, and hb 1D33 offering open an
eight-film series titled, "Recent Italian
Cinema: 70s-'80s" to be shown at the
Sheldon.
As the film opens, the Gloria N., an"
enormous luxury liner, b departing cn a
special voyage. The year b 1917. and the
"beautiful people" of th? upper class have
gathered on the ship for a funeral The
EdmeaTetua, the diva cf the opera set,
has passed awry. In her will she requested
that she be cremated, and her ashes
scattered near her birthplace, the bland
of Erimo, with her colleagues and friends
in audience.
Members of the "beautiful crowd" take
themselves a little too seriously when
performing, which in the end not only
displays the characters' talent, but their
incredible arrogance as well.
AJournalist, Orlando, guides the viewers
through the Journey with plot explana
tions. He tells the purpose and destination
of the voyage, gives brief biographies on
the passengers, and throws in soma trivial,
but related gossip along the way. Orlando
provides a great deal of humor during the
film.
That b an oversimplified synopsb of
the plot of "And the Ship Sails On. If the
viewer vbhes to delve in a little further,
there are as many possible subplots as
there are characters. But dent plan on
diving In too deep, because Fellini doesnt
develop them beyond the obvious super
ficial appearances. He feels that if the film
can't stand on its own, he has somehow
failed in hb effort. Thb film stands on its
own.
Despite a lack of subtitles, "And the
Ship Sails On" b an enjoyable film. It
provides a humorous and occasionally
serious look at a society that exbted
years ago, through one lavbh scene after
another.
"And the Ship Saib On" runs through
Saturday, Dec. 1 at Sheldon.

Review by Randy Wymcre . .

If there really b a formula for
making hit records to be heard
continuously on the radio and
MTV, Bryan Adams has perfected
it, packaged it and delivered it to
us just in time for Christmas.
With hb fourth LP and the
first one in nearly 2& years the
Canadian has skillfully mixed
drums, keyboards, gravelly voice
and simple love lyrics to come up
with Reckless.
Clearly hb best record to date,
this one shows us nothing new or
daring, just a lot of straight ahead
rock V roll with a couple of bal
lads thrown in for balance. With
the placing of the material, Adams
has reaffirmed the theory of love
being a double-edged blade.
On the first side we are sub
jected to the "boy-bnt-love-fun"
edge with songs like "One Night
Love Affair," "Heaven," "Some
body" and the smash "Run To
You."
All cf the lyrics run along the
lines of discovery and happiness
with only "Run To You" hinting at
the possibility that Mr. or Ms.
Right may not be that at alL
It's when we flip the record
over that the harsh realities of
relationships really sink in. "It's
Only Love," "Long Gone" and "Ain't
Gonna Cry" are testimony to the
fact that what ever comes up will
more than likely crash to the
ground and burn. ;
"It's Only Love" features a duet
with what has become the most
over exposed voice in contem
porary music since Phil Collins,
one Tina Turner. However, the
combination of Adams and Turn
er along with Adams band makes
for a terrific number that scorches
its way across the needle.
Adams does hb part to pay
homage to hb barroom beginning,
with "Long Gone" featuring a
spiced-up bluesy groove.
. Nope, nothing new here. But
what we have b awful good.
