I haven’t yet reseen this, but already regard this as Sontag’s most ambitious, most interesting, probably her best film, and surely her most neglected. I had to order my dvd copy from Sweden.

Never mind the intriguing cross-references to McCabe and Mrs. Miller  & Dead Man. This sings its own tragicomic song, creates its own bittersweet space, recounts its own version of the same doomed history.

Only Kubrick and Spielberg, working together on different time planes, could create such a philosophical and intellectual heartbreaker.

Scary, elusive, easy to misunderstand, and radical.
