14 THURSDAY, JULY 11, 1991 THE DAILY TELEGRAPH THE ARTS the grim tale of a serial killer, and (below) other releases FILMS Hugo Davenport on a female outlaw movie, Taking to the refuge of the road Thelma Louise sweeps into town this week with a squeal of tormented tyres and a posse of critical in pursuit. Ridley Scott's splendid film about two ordinary American women running loose on the old outlaw trail to Mexico, has already, set, sirens flashing blaring across, and the Atlantic; now it seems likely to do something similar here. The film has provoked more passionate debate, in America than any year, and rightly so. Rarely does a comon all cylinders piece of mercial success contrive, to fire pure entertainment, and yet to hit a serious theme everyday sexual politicseal, squarely on the ignition button. In the US, two predictably hostile camps have emerged.

One lot (men, to a man) quavers nervously that the film is establishing "a poor for today's presumably impressionable young women. Such protests sound a shrill note of incipient panic, like boy-scouts menaced by a bagn the other side stand the professional feminists delighted that a mainstream film has taken up the oft-suppressed female urge for freedom, but also prone to tedious post-mortems about whether it ought to have been directed by a woman. Speculation on the capacity of rudimentary, male brains to point is bandied about in a manner one can only describe as matronising. No amount of huffing and puffing, however, can disguise the whoops of delighted recognition among ordinary female nor, below that, a softer rumble of masculine approval. Too be sure, this is a mostly makes men look silly, but it does so in ways Thelma Louise (15, Plaza, Cannons Oxford St, Shaftesbury Ave, Fulham Rd, Screen on Baker St, Screen on the Notting Hill Coronet, UCI Whiteleys, 130 mins) Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer (18, Cannon Panton St, Metro, Gate, 80 mins) too, without having to walk out wondering whether we are all rapists at heartase role in version of da on a classically simple male genre: the outlaw buddiemovie.

It also has the picaresque structure of all roadfilms. Both forms are engraved so deeply on collective consciousness of that scriptwriter Callie Khouri immediately throws her variations into the sharpest relief. Thelma (Geena a housewife, bored stupid by her life with Darryl McDonald), brachristonher vinist of a husband who never lets her anything. Louise (Susan Sarandon) her older friend, a waitress, accustomed to managing her own affairs, but with a fair share of disappointments in love behind her. Together they take off for a weekend at a friend's cabin, but their first stop-over sets them on a very different course.

Louise shoots a man dead as he attempts to rape Thelma after a dance. From here they are on the run, tracked sympathetic police officer alar (Harvey Keitel), anxious for their safety and convinced that their defiance of the law is no more than a chapter of mishaps, and the bulletheaded technocrats of the FBI. Subsequent adventures we can recognise and laugh at, FILM PREVIEW OFFER AFTER the success of our readers' screening of Marcel Pagnol's My Father's Glory (La Gloire de Mon The Daily Telegraph Palace Pictures are offering 200 readers the opportunity to view Le de Ma (My Mother's Castle) at a special screening. Le de Ma picks, up La Gloire de Mon left off, continuing the charming and sentimental tale of French author Marcel Pagnol's childhood reminiscences. de Ma is directed by Yves Robert and produced by Alain Set in Marseille and the countryside, it tells story Marcel (Julien Ciamanca), the son of a pretty seamstress mother.

(Natalie Roussel) and a dynamic schoolteacher father (Philippe Top of his class, Marcel is preparing for his university entrance exams, but he can't stop dreaming of the hills of Provence, where he spent such idyllic Christmas holiday.

BRONZE QUESTION 5 In Victorian times a prospective suitor visited an old gentleman who had six daughters to marry off. When the suitor asked the daughters' ages, the old gentleman replied '26, 22, 30, 18, 32 and 34. The combined ages of Jemima and Dorothy are one and a half times that of Alicia and Lillie. Gertrude is older than Jemima but younger than Daphne. Alicia is four years older than Lillie'.

TELEVISION A timely pa parable include encounters with unreliable lovers, old and new; an armed robbery carried out with the minimum fuss and unpleasantness; the deflation of a mapatrolman, who lands locked own boot; and the total destruction of a particularly outsized and absurd phallic symbol. The contrast with the competitive psychology male friendship in novies is neatly pointed up when, halfway through, Louise weakens and Thelma grows stronger. If one or two male characters appear stereotyped, it is hard to escape the justice of Callie Khouri's riposte: women are routinely stereotyped in films every week of the year. Either way, any "anti-male" tendencies are undermined by the character of Hal, who is drawn almost as an understanding father figure, Ridley Scott mere he may be displays a thoroughly assured touch in his handling of the relationships.

The film is exciting, emotional, funny, beautifully acted, even liberating; factor it never allows the of feminist dogma to slow it down for an instant. Like sickly shadows stalking behind Thelma and Louise come the figures of Henry and Otis, the murderous male partnership Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer. The misgivings of the BBFC about the film were documented on this page two days ago: after almost a year of negotiation, it is now on show, with a few cuts, providing an experience at once disturbing and profoundly depressing. As Scott's film, there is an instructive contrast between the apparent motives for making the film and the positions subsequently taken up by commentators. The director, John McNaughton, had been making industrial documentaries when he was offered the challenge of creating a new kind of low-budget horror film, and his declared aim was to push it "as far as it can go Yet it is clear that entertainment, in any conventional sense, has no place in his fictional adaptation of the story of Henry Lee Lucas, the real-life killer who claimed to have murdered more than 600 people but later retracted his confessions.

For the world that McNaughton evokes is consistently drab, dehumanised, and disgusting. Henry (Michael Rooker) is an experienced killer having murdered his mother at 14, initiates his flatmate Otis (Tom Towles), a part-time forecourt attendant and drug-dealer, into the slaughter of random victims. Most are female, but not all. Their motives seem to be either sexual gratification or the relief of some passing grudge against the world. sharing their squalid is Becky (Tracy Arnold), Otis's sister, a former topless dancer separated from her child.
