COVER: Tough Guys Tango. Charles Bukowski, the Original Barfly.

Published Bimonthly By The Film Society of Lincoln Center.
In this issue.
EXILE ON MAINSTREET -- Coming up for air from the cultural underground, self-exiled searchers re-invent themselves for ambivalent encounters with Eighties cinema. Taking on a system that would eat them without thinking twice, four subversives might just cut through to the mainstream to launch their critiques. Marlaine Glicksman listens to Robert Frank's thoughts along the backroads of art and film (page 32). Mike Golden ponders the loneliness of the long-distance screenwriter with Rudy Wurlitzer on the occasion of Frank's Candy Mountain (page 40). Graham Fuller meets up with punk rocker Joe Strummer, who doubts the Career Opportunities in Nicaragua and Alex Cox's Walker (page 45). And Chris Hodenfeld opens a bottle (or two) with novelist-poet Charles Bukowski, who considers Barfly and his "I drink therefore I am" philosophy (page 53).

MAILER-MOT -- Eenv Nleenv Miney Mailer-Mot, Catch a Tough Guy by His Toe. For Tough Guys Don't Dance. Karen Jaehne watched Mailer's launch on the Cape and his lynching in Cannes. A comedy!, he claims.

CANNES AT 40 -- It's more than a festival, it's a theme park, and it just turned 40. The French threw themselves a bash, survived Princess Di, gave themselves the top prize, and exited to more boos (and booze) than banners. Who fights like this over movies? Mary Corliss scopes out the best 15 or 20 minute segments from three score films, and Harlan Jacobson hears it from jury president Yves Montand: "We wanted to give the Palme d'Or to . . . " Hint: First you drink, then you Pialat.
