Dragging storyline overcome
by superb acting in 6 Enemies’
ByTODD STONE
Of The Battalion Staff
“Enemies, A Love Story” relies on
superb acting to elevate itself to
above-average status.
Although critically acclaimed, “E-
nemies’ ” storyline drags more than
it runs, which rhakes its two-hours-
plus length difficult to sit through.
But that doesn’t mean it isn’t worth
enduring the ho-hums of this film.
Ron Silver stars as a Holocaust
survivor, Herman, who lives in New
York in 1949. He is a ghost writer
for a rabbi, played by Alan King,
and he seems to need the anonymity
the job gives hirh.
Herman felt obligated to marry
the sweet Polish girl who saved him
from German death squads, and
now he is stuck in a passionless mar
riage.
Still, Herman finds passion with
his mistress, Masha, played by Lena
Olin. At first, it seems their
relationship is based on strong phys
ical attraction, but we discover that
Masha’s intensity is absorbing. She
keeps Herman’s blood pumping.
After a series of events I won’t re
veal, Herman ends up with three
wives.
Although illegal polygamists
might be viewed as insensitive scum
sucking sexist swine, Herman is ac
tually a nice guy who is stuck in cir
cumstances which demand he give
up parts of the life he is trying to put
back together.
The three wives plot device seems
more suited for an all-out comedy
farce, but the film emphasizes trage
dies and hardships instead of hu
mor.
A few well-crafted amusing mo
ments occur, which left me craving
more tension-breaking comedy. But
you can’t blame director and co
screenwriter Paul Mazursky (“Down
and Out in Beverly Hills”) for em
phasizing the drama.
His principal stars, Ron Silver,
Lena Olin and Angelica Huston, are
superb. Olin and Huston’s perfor
mances rightfully were nominated
for Oscars for Best Supporting Ac
tress.
Silver, who carries the film, could
have had a little more help from the
screenplay to add depth to his char-

Local businesses facilitate recycling
By CHIP SOWDEN
Of The Battalion Staff
You’re not going to get rich recycling aluminum cans
at about 30 cents per pound.
But recycling conserves resources and helps the
economy and the environment. Bryan-College Station
has facilities to recycle almost anything.
Among the conserved by recycling is the last virgin
old-growth forest in the country, said Charles Albert,
recycling officer for the Texas Environmental Action
Coalition.
This forest, located in the northwestern United

Albert said.
If the amount of recycled paper were doubled, r
of this destruction would be unnecessary, he said.
Recycling also saves energy and reduces the Untel
States’ dependence on foreign oil. For example, ittajoj
95 percent less energy to make aluminum by reqtm
than it does to mine it, Albert said.
And recycling could be part of the solution to loci
