continuously peering through
" ilary, syr ‘
doorways at Hilary, symbolizin;
nd<
Victor's isolatio and exclusion, and
his longing to be a participant in
life, not just a voyeur.
Richard Friedenberg has done
an excellent job of transforming
Marti Leimbach's novel, written
as an inner monologue from
Hilary's point of view, into an
evocative, dramatic screenplay.
The Battalion
Roberts again shows her im
pressive range as the feisty-yet-
nurturing Hilary, giving herself
generously to the camera's end
lessly probing close-ups, convey
ing every ounce of pain and joy
with her expressively plastic fea
tures.
Campbell Scott's performance
is equally stunning as nis character
goes from extreme sickness to ath
letic vigorousness, shyness to ex
troversion, desperate need to smug
arrogance. There are a couple of
painfully realistic scenes where he
tries to prove his worth by demon
strating his knowledge of artsy
trivia while watching Jeopardy
with Hilary and Gordon. Scott is
definitely an actor to watch.
"Dying Young" is well made
and while deliberately paced and
certainly not perfect, it is for the
most part an extremely moving
and convincing character study. I
could be very picky and point out
some plot loopholes, but they
would give too much away, so I
won't. There is evidence, how
ever, as entertainment rags have
been reporting, that the ending was
tampered with after test audiences
found it too sad. Even the title was
under consideration for change
when studio execs were fearful
moviegoers might stay away,
thinking Roberts' character dies.
Whatever its faults, the quiet,
thoughtful nature of the film will
be a welcome respite from the slam-
bang violence of the majority of
summer films, and is a must for
Julia-watchers. This is a perfect
date movie, but be sure to wear
waterproof mascara and bring
plenty o' Kleenex - you'll need it!

LSAT?
Tho
If you’re not taking Stanley H. Kaplan to prepare for the new LSAT,
you could be wasting time studying for an exam that’s already outdated.
That’s because unlike most test prep companies, our research
department acts on test changes before others even know they exist. And
with Kaplan, you 11 benefit from our 50 years of experience, small classes
and superior teaching methods.
So when it comes to preparing for the new LSAT, study with the one
test prep company that always does its homework.
