It was exactly the same movie but it All worked  neither the air Force nor general dynamics Lent its cooperation. A it is frustrating Quot Tisch said. Quot but at the same Lime knowing that the government and general dynamics Don t want this movie made makes me even More passionate. And makes it even More rewarding to me personally to know that i pulled it  so making after Burn became a tremendous Challenge for the filmmakers. Quot the main thing was the air Force would not allow us to use any of their Stock footage of their f-16s,�?� director Robert Markowitz said. Quot so we had to shoot miniature air planes. Oven on a big screen you can to Tell. It was brilliantly done by the special effects people. We even investigated the possibility of getting an f-16 from some other foreign country Ami the air Force got wind of that. Quot we had to he extremely imaginative.

Another american director whose works have become cinematic institutions David Lynch presented the boiled Down movie version of his television series twin peaks at the festival. The film entered in Competition in the 45th Cannes festival attracted Large crowds As thousands descended on the Sun drenched French cite and its narrow beaches. But twin peaks fire walk with me As the film is called May turn out to be an anticlimax. The original to series was dubbed in French and shown at Cannes. Although it received a burst of publicity when it first came out it soon lost the Public a attention. There were hoots and whistles during a showing to critics and journalists indicating disappointment that could be reflected by the festivals judges led by French actor Gerard Depardieu. The film is different from the two season to series which revolved around the question a who killed Laura Palmer a and included a Host of idiosyncratic characters bizarre plot twists and frequent dream like scenes. The film version opens with a murder a year before Laura a death then skips Forward to her last seven Days alive. Sheryl Lee plays Laura. The film examines Laura a drinking her lovers escapades in a seedy bar and drug experiences. David Bowie and Harry Dean Stanton have bit roles As Laura sinks further toward her doom. A i like what a perverse and i like what Isnit perverse Lynch said. Quot i like the contrast. Its a question of balance Between  Lynch won top honors the Golden Palm award at Cannes two years ago with wild at heart. The other film presented for Competition May 16 was dark at noon by chilean director Raul Ruiz and starring John flirt and Daniel Prevost. Based on miracles and the supernatural the film explores a often comically a whether everything we see must have an explanation. Dark at noon is a grab bag of gags Esoterica and aestheticism sometimes so grotesque its funny. The film is unlikely to score big among  26 a sunday May 24, 1992
