Rosenbaum: “The difference between RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK and the Indian films is the difference between engineering and architecture (and it is important to recall that Lang, the only son of an architect, originally planned to follow in his father’s footsteps), Spielberg/Lucas construct an engine to get us as efficiently as possible, in bite-size TV units, to nowhere in particular, shedding images like petals en route. Lang, more interested (like his villains) in foundations that last — images and ideas alike — builds a temple (or tomb) around these ancient supports. Working in a genre that he all but invented himself half a century earlier, he allows his rage for design to fester in every shot — whether it’s getting his hero to smash together two red-turbaned heads, comic-book style, in the opening sequence, dressing his heroine in polka dots, or filling his geometrical décors wi.th other obsessively repetitive patterns. The result is a kind of dream architecture, a pulp India where all the characters become lost in one another’s obsessions.”
Rosenbaum: “Somewhat like the late virtuoso jazz pianist Art Tatum, who swamped and devoured any musician he tried to accompany, Barthes’ voice is sufficiently mellifluous to crowd out other voices — even the ones he is occasionally called upon to sponsor or introduce. That’s why an essay such as “Pierre Loti: Aziyadé,” the last in this collection — about a writer and book I doubt I’ll ever encounter firsthand — comes across not as a gangplank leading to something else, but as a flamboyant, extended circus act in its own right. Consider the opening sentence. which amply explains how film critic Gilbert Adair could once describe Barthes’ style to me as creamy:”
