...The One-Minute Pundit

A. O. with B. O. is in a GOOD MOOD today -- which is why the ad-blurbists become ever more the stuff of laughter, and avoidance.

“Natural’s Not in It” (speaking of great pop songs) blasts over the electrifying pink-and-black opening titles, kicking us into 18th-century Versailles with a jolt of anachronism. (Later there is some period-appropriate Rameau to go with the 80’s post-punk Ms. Coppola favors, and a high-top sneaker tucked amid the fabulous ancien régime couture.)

We can see why B. O. would love this: it's IN YOUR FACE, like PINCH. That may explain why it got booed at Cannes, and why PAPER OF RE-CORD readers have lately been IN YOUR FACE at PINCH's shareholders.
