Those bitter arbiters of taste
![MADE nearly 30 years apart, the psychedelic London psychodrama "Performance" and the sugary Versailles romp "Marie Antoinette" — both out on DVD this week — have a surprising amount in common. Both concern role-playing games and identity formation. Both are sensual pinnacles of high-aesthete decadence. Both inject rock-star glamour into incongruous genres: the gangster film and the costume drama. And both were perceived as easy targets for a critical drubbing.](http://www.calendarlive.com/media/thumbnails/story/2007-02/27823236.jpg "MADE nearly 30 years apart, the psychedelic London psychodrama "Performance\" and the sugary Versailles romp \"Marie Antoinette\" — both out on DVD this week — have a surprising amount in common.

![FILM festivals are justifiably infamous for gluttonous parties, craven swag suites and break-the-bank bidding wars. But does having played the festivals actually help sell tickets when the movie finally hits theaters?

Marianne Faithfull plays it against type in 'Irina Palm'
![MARIANNE Faithfull has lived many lives and barely survived some of them. Plucked from a crowded party in 1964 by the Rolling Stones' manager, who called her an angel with a robust physique, she hit the pop charts with a dulcet version of the Stones' "As Tears Go By" and soon thereafter entered into a very public relationship with Mick Jagger. In the years that followed, she played many parts: muse, junkie, trailblazer, icon. In "Irina Palm," Faithfull tries a new and unexpected role: prude.](http://www.latimes.com/media/thumbnails/story/2008-03/37194134-28164220.jpg "MARIANNE Faithfull has lived many lives and barely survived some of them.

'Southland Tales'
![Abyzantine doomsday freakout that also somehow feels eerily familiar, "Southland Tales" is Richard Kelly's panoptic denunciation (or sendup, it's hard to tell) of the imminent, oil crisis-fueled apocalypse as seen from Los Angeles. The movie was booed at Cannes when it screened there last year, though I don't know what that says about it beyond noting that it joins the ranks of Sofia Coppola's "Marie Antoinette," Vincent Gallo's "The Brown Bunny" and Pamela Anderson. Since Cannes, "Southland Tales" has been extensively re-cut -- though, at 2 hours and 24 whacked-out minutes, it's hard to imagine what it looked like before.](http://www.calendarlive.com/media/thumbnails/story/2007-11/33769407-13155047.jpg "Abyzantine doomsday freakout that also somehow feels eerily familiar, "Southland Tales\" is Richard Kelly's panoptic denunciation (or sendup, it's hard to tell) of the imminent, oil crisis-fueled apocalypse as seen from Los Angeles.
