N: I like it already. It sounds like
“Dark Habits” may be our critics’
choice.
B: What did you see?

Juan, My Dear Ghost.’’Thumbs tilted

Ghost.”
B: Why “up” for “Don Juan?”
N: Mistaken identities and absurd
situations make the movie funny in
an almost Hollywood-like way. While
a theater company presents a per
formance of “Don Juan,” the actual
ghost of Don Juan comes back for a
24-hour period of Casanova-like sex
(not shown in the film). Don Juan and
the Don-Juan-look-alike actor cause
a good deal of confusion, and some
parts get a little silly, like a Jerry
Lewis movie.
B: What about “Ay Carmela”?
N: Two lovers and a mule boy are
anti-Franco actors forced to perform
for both pro-Franco and anti-Franco
soldiers. “We arc artists, not politi
cians,” they say.
B: Thai’s a lot of movies about per
formers.
N: I think a lot of the Post-Franco
Spanish films seek to look at them
selves performing. Maybe it’s an
expression of their newly found free
dom.

for her role in “Nine” and was nomi
nated for her role in “Grand Hotel.”
Montevecchi said she did not plan
to retire soon. She said she would like
to do another Tommy Tunc musical.
“For choreography and direction,”
Montevecchi said, “there’s nobody
better than Tommy Tunc. He has such
imagination. He lets you do what you
want to do. He’sjustagenius. I would
like to do another play with him.”
She also would like to act in a
television scries or in the movies one
day, she said.
“I’m not a little sexpot anymore,”
she said. ‘‘As an older woman, I may
be able to return to Los Angeles as a
character actress one day. In televi
sion and movies, more people could
sec my work.”

Common man’s band

COfllwfeaEwl—
From Staff Reports '<
The Bad Examples, a Chicago- 1
based pop/rock quartet, w ill bring its
foot-stompin’ sound to the Zoo Bar, ;
136 N. 14th St. tonight. The group’s
U.S. tour, which included a slop at
Omaha’s Howard Street Tavern last
night, follows the release of their debut
album, “Bad is Beautiful.”
A club favorite since its inception
less than a year ago, BE crosses many
musical lines, sometimes dabbling in
R&B and even country. The band
recently signed a record deal with
CNR Records of the Netherlands, one
of Europe’s biggest independent la
bels, and will embark on a 10-dale_
Naked

Symbolism runs rampant through
out "Naked Lunch.” Aside from ex
amining the often grueling process of
writing, it also explore Lee’s repressed
homosexuality. These and other hid
den sides of the man arc personified
through his typewriter.
For Cronenberg, who gave us "The
Fly,” "Vidcodrome” and “Scanners,”
grossing out audiences is old hat.
“Naked Lunch” certainly bears his
mark. The film may not be an espe
cially pleasant experience, but it is
nonetheless a memorable one. It’s
also one of those rare birds of cinema:
a movie that becomes more meaning
ful as you give it more thought.
