Perfecto: People will do
almost anything to fit in
Continued from page 8
unattractive saleswoman Rafael
didn't even notice for the last 10
years named Lourdes.
She uses what she witnessed as
power over Rafael, getting her re
venge on the popular guy by demand
ing he be at her beck and call.
Rafael lives what he fears most.
He has to bow down to Lourdes,
meet her crazy family and is forced
into marriage.
The movie, pegged as a dark
comedy, provides a rare laugh and
is a little slow. The audience doesn't
need to see scene after scene to
understand just how miserable
Rafael is. Perhaps much of the hu
mor is lost from the Spanish tone or
in the English subtitles.
However, the idea that Rafael
seems to be ripped right from a men's
magazine is the most fun thing to
watch as he puts together elaborate
schemes to avoid Lourdes.
Somehow Spanish director Alex
de la Iglesia gets the audience to
sympathize with the self-absorbed
Rafael as he suffers the life
he dreaded.
The movie is an entertaining exam
ple of what people are willing to do to
fit in. For Lourdes, it means chopping
up a dead body and blackmailing
without a guilty conscience.
While Rafael claims he wants to
avoid the mediocre, ordinary
lifestyle, he really has no idea what
he wants. He merely goes after
what society tells him he wants:
hot babes and material objects.
Lourdes at least knows what she
wants, although she goes about it in a
haphazard way.
Although Lourdes and Rafael are
exaggerated, the sales floor of Yeyo's
does let the viewer examine society's
pressures to be a certain way.

ArtWalk: Lane Arts wants to expand tour
Continued from page 8
After the walkers get their fill of
jewelry and sculpture, they'll visit
the White Lotus Gallery where they
will be treated to historical pieces at
the gallery's "19th Century Japanese
Woodblock Prints" exhibit. The col
lection depicts scenes from tradi
tional Japanese plays and everyday
life in Edo (modern-day Tokyo).
The final stop on the tour is at Ja
cobs Gallery where they are pre
senting: "This Everlasting Valley:
Willamette Basin Farms from the Art
About Agriculture Permanent Col
lection."The collection, from Ore
gon State University's permanent
collection, "Art About Agriculture,"
features pieces from artists who in
vestigate the visual resources of
agriculture. "This Everlasting Val
ley" is a visual representation of the
role food and agriculture play in the
Willamette Valley.
While most of the tour stops on
the monthly walk are in downtown
Eugene, Durden said the arts council
wants to eventually expand the tour
to other parts of the county, even if
that means taking a bus instead of
walking. Any local artist is welcome
to apply for a spot on the ArtWalk,
including artists who use other
mediums such as video production
and performance art.
"The council is very open to any
artist, and we want to be able to
change with the times," Durden
said. She encourages University stu
dents to submit information on any
galleries where their work is on dis
play. Even if they do not make that
month's tour, they can still be listed
in the "Also open, but not part of the *
guided tour" section of the council's
press release.
