The dead crow society
Article Abstract:
Thomas Hardy's novel 'Jude the Obscure' is very bleak, but is still a love story about ideals, according to film-maker Michael Winterbottom, whose film version of the novel, entitled 'Jude,' is to be released shortly. The film features dark, uninviting landscapes and unattractive towns, and the characters appear to be haunted. The book has a contemporary setting, and this made Winterbottom feel justified in using modern language.

Sex and the single boy
Article Abstract:
Hollywood films portraying sexual relations which were released in 1995 tend to show women in very strong roles. These include the character of Onnatop in 'Goldeneye,' the latest James Bond film, and Sigourney Weaver in Polanski's 'Death and the Maiden'. Lesbian cinema had a high profile in 1995, although these films very generally not of very high quality.
