Film dawdles while 'Going Places'
By CHUCK SACK
Contributing Writer
It would be simple to write off the French film "Going Places" with a waship, "No it isn't," but this minor movie deserves more attention. For one thing, the aimlessness of the lead characters is intentional, so the narrative is not overly complicated; it initially inclined to do. Would you be fellicit
Bertand Blier, who directed this film based on his biter novel, followed two smalltime hoodlums, aged 23 and 25, in their random flight from authority. Already on the run with his friends, he thieves before graduating to car theft and winding up as accomplices to a murder.
But "Going Places" is less concerned with the narrative of these events than it is with thestudied amorality of the duo. Raw images of the actions of film ignores the legal and moral implications of the actions. This style quickly puts the viewer on notice that this is an adult tale. Those who are shocked by casual sex can eliminate violence will be in for a long evening.
ACTUALLY MUCH of this is less interesting than such a general description makes it sound. The hoods (played by Gerard Depardeau and Patrick Dewaea are very watchable, but they are too vicious and unintelligent to be engaging in any way), the shiny glossy support of other characters, and there aren't enough of those around in the early soo
What saves the film in its first forty-five minutes is the variety of situations that the men get into. A joy-ride ends with one of the pair getting shot in the left testicle, and in the right one in the back of the room. Later, after they've had their pleasure with this waffle, the men escape on a train, where they encounter a young mother on her way to be reunited with her husband. Later still, they flee to a deserted resort in its off-season, where they occupy an abandoned house.
The first half of the film is paced like a merry-go-round: quick enough to make the ride diverting, long enough to more than satisfy your desire for the experience. Unfortunately, these sequences do little to illuminate the characters. Perhaps Biler is
YOUNG, WHO wrote the song, has emerged as an instrumental wizard in Poco, performing on acoustic guitar, 12-string guitar, banjo, kanoj, dobro and pedal steel guitar.
However, a string arrangement without any true direction bogs a song down and eventually takes complete control as the song draws to a close.
Ultimately, "Going Places" needs something else to make it a totally satisfactory experience. Adding another name actor would only serve to further unbalance the fragile grace that Moreau's character suspects that it is no coincidence that the most arresting and memorable episodes character with specific goals.
"Stealaway" is reminiscent of "Good Feelin' to Know," the closest Poco has ever come to a hit single. Schmit's lead vocal is nothing short of excellent, and he carries expression and emotion to their highest limits.
"Stealaway" and "Company's Comin'
Slow Poke" are by far the album
has to offer. Not surprisingly, both
songs were penned by Young.
Cotton's country ballad, "All Alone
The happy, bouncy songs that filled country-and-western band Poco's early albums are a part of their past, as their song "Rose of Climarron," demonstrates.
The album is an improvement over "Head Over Heels." Poco's previous release, but still falls short of the mark they made with their early records.
By GREG HEJNA Staff Writer
Songwriting is weak in Poco's new album
Staff Writer
The title cut is based on Rusty Young's 12-string guitar riff that introduces the song, Timothy B. Schmit and Paul Cotton give the song a super vocal treatment, easing in and out of harmonies, ringing the words out clear and strong.
--absurdly violent act in the movie. So great is her presence that she imparts an afterglow to the next section of the film, the mark of a true star.
FOREIGN AUTO PARTS
"Come Around") is a remake of a hit cotton had with the Illinois Speed Press. The tune flows well in a country vein with the sweetness of melody and the graceful confidence. Cotton's vocals exude confidence.
Side Two is saved from total failure by two of Cotton's songs, "When You Come Home" and "You'll Be Mine."

ON "COMPANY'S Comin' Slow Poke"
Poco comes closest to the type of good-time music that was once its trademark. A vocal, banjo and drums combination starts a lope of song followed by another song. Cotton and Schmitt trade vocal leads, ending in a four part crescent that breaks into the instrumental "Slow Poke." The tone is Young's vehicle. He solos brilliantly on his instruments and only Cotton's guitar keeps the song from being a one-man show.
So "Going Places" is destined to be a minor film because it lacks any other features. But you may not save the film for everyone, but she makes getting there more than half the fun.

This sensation is reinforced by the startling appearance of Jeanne Moreau just above the screen, and more vicious. In the role of a middle-aged woman just released from prison, Moreau dominates the screen. And in some scenes she becomes transferred to the young men and the story.

MOREAU PROVIDES the film with a sense of drive and purpose that the main characters lack. Gaurit of face, yet thoroughly appealing, she portrays a woman cautiously savoring her freedom, who then convincingly commits the most
too familiar with his material to condense to supply more background, but after the first 20 minutes, the film seems to be marking time.

Together," hovers only inches above mediocrity. Only his strong vocal performance and some fine pedal-sheet work by Dudley MacLean is smiling into a Hank Wills imitation.
OVERALL, THE album has many weaknesses, especially in the group's songs.
Perhaps it is time for Poco to record some other group's material to light a spark under the band. The group is clearly not able to hold an album together with the material they write. This may be the only way that one can be a part of and a chance to have the adjective "potential" dropped from its description as a top act.

Schmit's two efforts are mediocre, even in comparison with other tunes on the album. His "Starin" At the Sky" is mildly interesting only for Garth's alba sox alcyon, and he's as good as he is even close to the excellent writer he has proved himself to be in the past.
