Monsieur Hire blends tension, eroticism, and the bizarre MONSIEUR HIRE Directed by PQtrice Leconte. Starring Michel Blanc, Sandrine Bonnaire, Luc Thuillier, and Andre Wilms. At the Nickelodeon and Harvard Square theaters.

By ELIZABETH L. WILLIAMS

ONSIEUR HIRE is a French' murder mystery which blends : s ;< < · b ;5>

tension with eroticism and a [ ,: 0v>+ ><-t Y; touch of the bizarre in a dreamy melodic style. The strong points of this movie are the development of the : .:¢ <

character Monsieur Hire and the strange- A, ness of the situation that he is caught up y e- W in. The negative points are the simplicity of the plot and the shallowness of most 1K, G .f.; characters.

Without giving away the entire story, the movie is about an investigation into the death of a young girl who is M~onsieur Hire's neighbor. Hire is a strange egg, having the habit of regularly looking into the window of a young girl named Alice who lives across the street from him. He watch- es all her activities, from eating to un- dressing to sleeping. The movie progresses with the escalation of the murder investigation, the development of HKire's character, and Hire's changing relationship with Alice after he meets her. Hire is an absorbing character and the Michel Blanc and Sandrine Bonnaire ! in Patrice LeConte's Mornsieur Hire movie flows smoothly. In fact, the film Hire and Alice are artfullymnanipulated as. murderer. flows so smoothly it is over before one can the film progresses, the unveiling of their Although not a "must see," Monsieur believe it.

Bennett Weintraub '90, piano. Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue, and works by Hartke and Tchaikovsky. . ,e..S ~~~~~~~~Kresge Auditorium, May 12..

By JONATHAN RICHMOND

ENNY WEINTRAUB '90 put on a performance of Rhapsody in Blue as- sizzling, hot, and sexy as B --if it were being performed on a sax: He plays saxophone and clarinet as well as the piano, and the musical cross- dressing he indulged in clearly paid off. Weintraub captured a fine sense 'of rhythm, bending and shaping every little nuance in the music with a natural facility and panache. His timing was impeccable, his gradations in tone subtle in execution, gripping in effect - in short, a great performance. The MIT Symphony Orchestra, led by guest conductor Richard Cornell, was in Pianist Benny Weintraub '90 top form, too, for the Rhapsody.
