28 August 1997
        Reporting live from the 54th Mostra Internazionale d'Arte
Cinematografica in Venice (the operative word here is *not* festival!),
albeit with a *very* slow internet connection.
        Opening night: *Deconstructing Harry* by Woody Allen (outside
competition).  Mr. Allen is not here and sent a video telling us why he is
not here--the ultimate visual metalanguage!  More to come as I make my way
to the festival site.
