International animated works now displayed TOURNEE from Page 10 six-second variations on the common leader configuration. In this limited formal, the animators unleash bizarre ingenuity. The film won a Grand Prize at the Cannes Film Festival. The most anticipated film of the Tournee is Italian Bruno Bo/.zctto’s “Baeus.” Bozzctto’s film “Allegro non Troppo” is one of the master pieces of the medium, a “Fantasia” parody that nearly surpasses that Disney classic for its m ixture of music and animation. “Baeus” is a bitter sweet love story that just happens to be about an insect. It is a charming successor to “Allegro.” There is enough variety of tone, texture and mood in the Tournee to keep every cel of the 95-minute pro gram hypnotic and fascinating. The simple comedy of George Carlin’s “DrawingOn My Mind” segues beau tifully into the haunting “folk” talc from New Zealand, “The Frog, the Dog and the Devil.” There is a com mon spirit of imagination and artistic eagerness that make one film How perfectly into the next. The most surprising entry in the Tournee is the computer animation in the films “Red’s Dream” and “Luxo Jr.” Both films arc made by the Pixar Company, which was formerly part ol the Lucasfilm empire. Normally the problem with computer art and ani mation has been a certain lifeless quality. The computer may vivify an image, but often that image seems to be a zombie. Not so with these two films, where the images are poignant and funny, capable of eliciting more than a technological catharsis. The Tournee runs from tonight until Sunday with shows at 7 and 9 p.m. The Hole Works Eatery •0*7 R Sk—t (Aooross from Campus) .. -.4®'* . ,WL Batwasn Tsmpts ft Klnfcoa MoiVFrl 7 am - * pm 430-8031 Set 8 em - 2 pm -, 110% off!

They may be hewn from standard riffs but their potency is .. ~ .. ■ ■■■■■■■■ undeniable. The problem with “Mona Lisa’s Sister” is its dreadfully weak mid section. His lyric-writing on songs like “The Girl Isn’t Ready .’’“I’m Just Your Man ’and“Success”is woefully weak. Parker’s band, including pub rock legend Brinsley Schwartz on guitar, plays every song as if it had bite, but its a charade. Parker would like to gel started and “Mona Lisa’s Sister” is a great warm up exercise, but he just can’t get past the calisthenics and get to the main event. Before he can convince us he’s got a fire in him, he needs to convince himself. — Charles Lieurance Camper Van Beethoven “Our Be loved Revolutionary Sweetheart” Virgin Records OLD STYLE $7.45 $4.55 j WARM CASK 12 PACK COLD CALIFORNIA COOLERS WARM OR COLD $2.997$5.00 4 PACK FOR BUSCH $7.45 $4.79 WARM CASH COLD 12 PACK STROHS REG.

ImnnnS • • l ♦ vyounesy virgin necoras There arc bands, there arc musi cians, there are singers. And then there’s Camper Van Beethoven. “Revolutionary Sweetheart" is the Camper’s fifth album, and now they’ve narrowed the unit down to a constant five members (as opposed to the dozens of loosely connected, in terweaving communes of hippies that walked in and out of sessions for the first three albums). While one may bemoan the inevi table loss of schizoid spontaneity and avani-cxpcnmcntalism that might bring, the band’s resulting cohesion has brought the formidable creative talents of David Lowery and Jonathon Segal into clearer focus and greater prominence. X/rvalict/liiriz'it’l/miilaricl I /ui/i***V and guitarist/anything that makes strange sounds-ist Segal were always the driving forces behind the band, but now they seem to have taken charge a bit more openly. Whereas before Camper Van Beethoven was openly and outright “weird,” now it’s more of a subtle weirdness, a la latc ’70s Talking Heads. “Eye of Fatima, part 1,” the open ing track, is vintage Camper. With all the hit-making power and urgency of the Smithereens’ best singles and told with Lowery’s typical deadpan, 'See REVIEW BOARD on 13
