Kevin Kline In Fish Called Wanda
778 wordsThe film A Fish Called Wanda is on the AFIs (American Film Institute) Greatest 100 Comedies list. Although this film features talented actors like John Cleese and Jamie Lee Curtis, Kevin Kline easily steals the show. Kline gives a brilliant performance as the pseudo-intellectual Otto. What makes Kline so remarkable is the way that he moves and makes his character dance across the screen. Right from the outset, in one of the films first scene, we see that Kline's Otto is no normal jewel thief. Ev...

Rarely used before, this term became immediately popular as a description of the supernatural. Otto was careful to define what he meant by the numinous. For a start...

751 wordsOtto Orban Otto Orban, who has died aged 66, was the leading Hungarian poet of his generation, but his influence extended well beyond the confines of literary and academic institutions. His passionate, funny and virtuosic poems combined the fully personal with the overtly political, and his barbed verses on Hungarian government pretensions were a source of irritation to those in power. They were, in effect, a kind of brilliant, vicious, Swiftian graffiti. Born in Budapest, Orban's earliest exper...
