The Daily Tar Heel from Chapel Hill, North Carolina • Page 4

Thursday. February 22. 1973 The Daily Tar Heel Friday Two EngUsM zGirls9 Truffa opens run '4 7 4 -W daughter of his love long ago. Vainly he looks for some resemblance in their faces, and we realize that he will never forget, that no one will ever really forget. It is a moment that stabs as deeply as any moment in the history' of film.

With all the repression and pain, the film would be unbearable without Truffaut's careful treatment. Though the lyricism of his direction, he shows that these characters lived life as they had to, and that even pain is an emotion worth feeling. His direction perfectly captures the mood of each scene. When the lovers are together in a river house, there is an incredibly beautiful and graceful tracking shot along the river. When one of the sisters confesses her shameful passions (she masturbates) the scene practically explodes with her feelings of guilt.

His greatest triumph, however, is the attitude he takes toward his material. The actions of the characters are so capricious, and their emotions so paradoxically free and repressed, that they are close to being absurd. Many people will be embarassed by this display of honest emotion, however silly seeming, and will be forced to laugh to cover themselves. Truffaut stares his material down without a flinch. And in risking the absurd, he has come up with a masterpiece.

There is one flaw in the film. Jean Pierre Leaud is not actively bad, but he is strangely wooden, and does not display the necessary charm. Fortunately the rest of the acting is very good, and the acting by the two English girls is extraordinary. At times they seem almost possessed. There will be mighty slim pickings in town this weekend at the local theatres.

Those desiring a very great movie should rush to Murphy Hall to see this film. I have seen it several times and I am convinced that it is Truffaut's greatest film, one of the saddest and most beautiful love stories of all time. Shows in Murphy Hall beginning Friday through March 7, nightly at 7:10 and 9:20 p.m. with extra late shows at 1 1:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday and extra matinees at 1, 3, 5 pjn.

by Scott Langtey vs Film Critic Practically every reviewer has noted the similarity between "Jules and Jim" and "Two English Girls." In the former, two men arjyta love with the same woman, and in the latter two women are in love with the same man. In both the characters to impulse and not according to any kind of logic, rjotS were taken from pvels written by the same man. Nevertheless, too much haseen made of the similarity, for they are radically different films. Despite some outwardly sad happenings "Jules and Jim" is a celebration of the joy of life, and is filled with a springtime exuberance. Two English Girls" is a much more mature work with an autumnal feel, and can be called a celebration of the pain of love.

Pauline Kael says that Truffaut tried for gaiety and gentle charm in this movie, and then criticizes it because everything turns out muffled and repressed. Of course, the point of the movie is that everything is muffled and repressed, and it is this sense of repression that Truffaut is striving for. The characters are victims of the Victorian era, and no matter how free they attempt to be they are trapped by their surroundings. It is the occasional breakthrough from this repression that allows their carpicious actions as they flit from one lover to another or decide to make love once and then leave forever. And it is the general repression which allows emotions to be so undefined that they can change so easily.

This muted sense is captured perfectly in the beautiful color photography of Nestor Almendros Wild Child," "Claire's It is soft-toned and golden colored reflecting both the period and the general tone of the film. Almendros is fast becoming one of the world's great cinematographers. Beneath' the repression Truffaut shows a strong undercurrent of emotion, and implies that the pain of love is remembered with the image of blood-stained sheets. In the extraordinary final scene, Jean Pierre Leaud looks at a group of English schoolgirls and realizes that one of them may be the Two English Girls' Saturday and Sunday. lack poet i Tod ays Entertainment Events 1 1 gives reaaing loaay Auditions for the Lab Theatre.
