Jefferson,’ ‘Funny’ open this weekend
Jefferson in Pans and Funny
Bones are scheduled to be
'»• eased nationally this week
end Following are some brief
previews and reviews by mem
bers of The Associated Press
Jefferson m Pans
From 1784 to 1789, Thomas
Jefferson served as U S
an^bassador to France Armed
with his slaves and Virginia
ways, he was an oddity m a
country seething with the spirit
of ^ party and freedom
An even greater oddity is Nick
None, cast as me future press
dent in Merchant-Ivory's opulent
but questionable Jefferson in
Pans
Noite is a man of the 20th
century, not an aristocratic
statesman of toe 18th century
His visage. his speech patterns
and his mannerisms are at!
wrong He no more fits into the
1700s than Jefferson would in a
mosh pit Appearing vague and
lost tie also lacks the intellectu
al sharpness Jefferson pos
sessed and seems
uncomfortable with the materia!
James Ivory, who directed the
film from a screenplay Py Rutn
Rrawer Jhabvala, moves things
along at a painfully slow pace
as he illuminates Jefferson s
Parisian experience
A widower who had vowed on
' . w.’es teatr-peo never :o
remarry, Jefferson is swept nto
the romantic thrall of the glam
o'ous and bomd Mar .1 Cosway
(Greta Scaccht), whoso foppish
artis! husband. Ftichard (Simon
Ca low). shows itfito affection or
lust
Another thorn m their s<de is
Jefferson's petulant oider
daughter, Patsy (Gwyneth Pal
trow). with whom he has an
a most questionable relation
Ship Patsy wants nothing to tar
rush her mother’s memory
Funny Bones
One of the more inventive
and remarkably funny movies
trv.s season is Hollywood Pic
tures' t unny Bones
It s a difficult film to digest
because of its brooding dark
ness, and probably to market
because t! doesn't have the
mass appeal of broad comedy
or pander to the adolescent stu
pidity of Dumb and Dumber or
the slew ot bombs made by Sal
u'day Nignt t >w personnel
Rainer. Funny Bones reties on
physical comedy, on the type ol
S:i'>ness that made vaudeville so
popular generations ago. and
the type ot humor that has influ
enced some o! comedy's most
profound clowns S»d Ceasar
