18 FRIDAY MAY 12 1995 THE DAILY TELEGRAPH NEW RELEASES Hugo Davenport on Bullets over Broadway an offbeat weepie girls growing up in Ireland and the abuse of childhood innocence Woody remixes the old cocktail BULLETS OVER BROADWAY (15 cert 99 mins) general release BOYS ON THE SIDE (15 cert 117 mins) general release irretrievably unravelled The picture is a bit of a shambles in narrative terms but not without beguiling moments Jane (Goldberg) falls for someone she cannot have and must settle for sisterly solidarity while Robin (Parker) wooed in vain by a barman faces the fact that her desire for husband and children will not be fulfilled Barrymore imparts a delicious spark of delinquent spontaneity to Holly finding the man of her dreams in one Abe Lincoln (Matthew McConaughey) a cop of impeccable uprightness in law as in bed As the three party quarrel and make up on a spacious Arizona ranch estranged mother (Anita Gillette) joins the tribe for a quavering singa-long of You Got It which should irrigate all but the most drought-stricken A A vain Broadway legend hustles a high-minded playwright into romance: Dianne Wiest and John Cusack in over A pawn wins the game EVEN devoted Woody Allen fans could reasonably suspect the New York joker of thumbing the same old pack of thematic cards for too long Of late each film has seemed a shuffle with a dog-eared deck the cut the deal and the play all a bit familiar a touch of pastiche and a midlife crisis here a love-tangle and a collision of worlds there Not that all his recent work has lacked entertainment value A kinder analogy for method might be jazz of which he is an enthusiastic off-screen practitioner: you know the riffs but there is usually some ingenious variation to refresh the ear So perhaps not unduly damning to say that Bullets over Broadway recalls Broadway Danny Rose in its Runyonesque cocktail of show-business eccentrics and gangsters True Allen stays behind the camera this time directing and sharing the credit with Douglas McGrath The theme is that old chestnut the integrity of the artist Or rather The Artist It was the Surrealists who first drew subversive parallels between art and crime: in characteristic faux-naif style Allen takes the conceit literally by making the only real artist of the piece a mobster All of which is little more than a pretext for a broad farcical send-up of backstage rivalry egomania and galloping neurosis among the pampered darlings of the Great White Way Set in the Twenties the picture charts the career of a writer David Shayne (John Cusack) who trumpets lofty aims until he finds the only way to get his play staged and direct it is to cast a shrill moll in a major role as yes a psychiatrist Olive Neal (Jennifer Tilly) is so hopeless that she pronounces as something equine and cannot recall drift after be Her boyfriend is Nick Valenti who bellows down the phone about extracting an vitals through his windpipe when the showgirl producer (Jack Warden) and director meet for introductory drinks The show receives a fillip as Helen Sinclair (Dianne Wiest winner of this best supporting actress Oscar for the role after an identical success in Hannah and Her Sisters nine years ago) takes the lead A posturing vamp self-described with false humility as vain Broadway leg- night out: Minnie Driver (Benny) and Saffron Burrows (Nan) get ready Cost of ignorance nousness to build an EEC Brylcreem-mountain: small wonder that Benny falls for handsome Jack Foley (Chris a college rugby star agonising about following his vocation as a doctor when she arrives to study in Dublin Catholic repression is amusingly offset with lectures on anthropological classic about the sexual freedom enjoyecF by adolescent Trobriand Islanders The Sexual Life of Savages but the costs of ignorance are revealed when Nan seduced and dropped by weak wealthy Simon Westward (Colin Firth) feels driven to an act of betrayal The obligatory happy ending is a mite contrived but there is much else to enjoy especially the strength and vulnerability of performance she flatters pretensions and draws him into a romantic liaison with a finger pressed to his lips and husky urgent murmurs of: There is much bitching and intrigue none of it very subtle Our own Jim Broad-bent is splendid as a rotund thespian who has an eating disorder so severe he hides a swiss roll in his script or chomps a chicken-leg in midseduction and who is ejected into the street to meet his public in a high-tensile corset Tracey Ullman is suitably abrasive as an actress doting on a chihuahua Mr Woofles that she claims to breast-feed But the key character is Cheech (Chazz Palminteri) reluctant mobster minder His testy observations unwelcome at first sharpen the play eventually he resorts to his automatic in defence of artistic purity bringing on a crisis for David and a pat happy ending though Rob Reiner as the tubby Lothario consoling the spurned girlfriend (Mary-Louise Parker) adds a welcome flourish Shot in old gold and sepia opulent in design adorned with atmospheric period music this is balsa-weight fun: Woody without splinters Mary-Louise Parker underused in film pulls out the stops in Herbert Boys on the Side The film is a self-consciously off-centre weepie concerning the adventures of three women on the road Whoopi Goldberg plays a lesbian singer Drew Barrymore a pregnant wild-child fleeing a murder rap after bashing her violent drug-dealer boyfriend on the head Parker is a prim estate agent devoted to the Carpenters and suffering from Aids At first glance the trio presents a menu of fashionable female deviance of such inclusive political correctness it almost hurts To the credit of Don gentlypaced script however the view of relations between the sexes is far from separatist: more about accepting frustration and trying to create a sense of family in a world where the old definitions have HOW TO PLAY Find 16 words including at least 1x8 letters and 2x6 letters Letters must adjoin but not necessarily in a straight line For example in the game alongside you can make SIRE and PEER No letter cube may be used more than once in the same word and words must be a minimum of four letters With no proper names vain to stop the cruelty of the local Tonton Macoute boss Janvier (a performance of dead-eyed menace from Jean-Michel Martial) The story unfolds in flashback three decades on with a reflective voice-over commenting on the obscurations of a memory clouded by terror Janvier coils round the family like a python helping himself to goods from the their small shop awaiting his chance it comes when Grandmother Des-rouillere bravely stands up to the petty demands of the vulgar spiteful Mme Janvier A haunting film lingering in the mind like a bad dream Just as grim in its way is Sin Compasion an impressive updating of Crime and Punishment from Peruvian director Francisco Lombardi It stars Diego Bertie as Ramon a poor student who murders his rapacious landlady and her husband then seeks redemption with a teenaged prostitute Sonia (Adriana Davila) struggling to support her younger siblings An odd mixture of ideals arrogance and nihilism Ramon establishes a complex relationship with the patient detective (Jorge Chiarella) investigating the killings while a creepy old man (Hernan Romero) tries to lure Sonia with the promise of wealth preoccupations translate rather well to modern Lima a testament to his modernity and a Catholic context VICTORIA PALACE Box Off CC (No bkg fee) 0171 834 1317 CC (bkg
