...intolerable despotic repression of man's physical nature in favor of the spiritual one. Then, however, we turned our backs upon the Spirit and embraced all that is material with excessive and unwarranted zeal.

How does Edwards get away with this old schtik? By keeping, I believe, his technique straightforward and limp, with no shock-cutting or screwy camera angles to jar us. Most...
