Art and Entertainment‚ Utopia The movie‚ Funny Face‚ is an enjoyable‚ entertaining and certainly a classic in cinema. Amidst the theatrical surface‚ it makes as fine material for criticism.

After reading Jeanne Wakatsuki Houston’s memoir Farewell to Manzanar about the Japanese and her family being interned during World War II.
