The post David Mallet – David Bowie: Serious Moonlight (1983) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

Sandra Hüller (Anatomy of a Fall, The Zone of Interest, Toni Erdmann) won Theater Heute magazine’s actress of the year award in 2020 for her turn as Hamlet in this staging by Dutch director Johan Simons.

“As the melancholy Dane, Hüller … digs deep into the character’s grief and isolation in this spare yet faithful production, which originated at the Schauspielhaus Bochum.” —AJ Goldman, The New York Times

“The Bochum Hamlet was shown in a television version made by the German broadcaster 3sat, directed for television by Catharina Kleber. Theatre makers habitually look down on streams because there the camera gets to decide where one looks. The same people have no qualms about superimposing close-ups of their actors on an on-stage screen, which is something of a contradiction. In this version the camera picked up entrances, exits and the composer/musician Mieko Suzuki at the moments of soundscape change just as the eye would have.” —Matti Linnavuori, Critical Stages

Gilda Radner: A Revue of Repertory

Nothing in “Gilda Live” is funnier than, or a substantial departure from, the material Gilda Radner does on “Saturday Night Live.” But the film ought to satisfy her fans. As directed by Mike Nichols, this is a straightforward record of Miss Radner’s Broadway show at the Winter Garden last year, a show that had its decided ups and downs. The best of her material presents Miss Radner as an agile, versatile comedian, but the lesser skits tend to ramble.

Miss Radner is not the sole star of “Gilda Live,” which opens today at the Sutton and other theaters. She appears as a number of characters, in a show that gives equal weight to these various skits and does little to tie them together. So Don Novello, who puts in a series of appearances as Father Guido Sarducci, upstages Miss Radner regularly, if only because of his character’s continuity.

Mr. Novello is seen explaining about a “Kennedy-Lincoln Coincidenza” in Italian (both their names have seven letters), and proposing his scheme for a “five-minute university” — during a five-minute session, the student is taught everything the average college graduate remembers after five years. The Religion course goes this way: “Where is God? God is everywhere. Why? Because He likes you.” Mr. Novello describes this as a combination of Roman Catholic theology and Walt Disney.

Miss Radner’s best shot here is her appearance as Rhonda Weiss, of Rhonda and the Rhondettes, singing a protest song about the banning of saccharine. The Rhondettes wear sunglasses and carry little shoulderbags, waving their hands in a gesture that suggests their nails aren’t dry. Meanwhile, Rhonda explains “up until now, I never felt the need to protest. I mean, nothing in the 60’s really bothered me.” Then she read the saccharine story in The National Enquirer: “I nearly died.”

This routine, performed with the three female singers of the group Desmond Child and Rouge, is something Miss Radner has tried on television, and in fact most of the show has a familiar ring. What it doesn’t have is an eventful feeling, a sense that Miss Radner is really taking a chance. Her closing song, something sentimental about innocent romance, offers the evening’s only step out of character — and it’s a step backwards, since it ends an otherwise amusing program on a note of false intimacy. Nothing else about the material, a 90-minute run through of Miss Radner’s repertory, suggests she’s interested in doing more than playing it safe.
