...from the grasp of a struggling victim and turned against him. Sprays, for all their sophistication, have a nasty and altogether self-defeating tendency to blow back in the user's face. There is even a drawback to "Super Sound," an ear-piercing air horn attached to an aerosol can and designed to summon help while startling attackers. It can damage the hearing of mugger and muggee alike...
...tried to tear the Soviet flag down from its U.N. flagpole. At about the same time, a boy and a girl, both aged 15, slipped into the lobby of the Soviet mission on Manhattan's East 67th Street, broke a glass door and sprayed the area with an aerosol can of red paint. The midtown Manhattan office of Aeroflot, the Soviet airline, got similar treatment...

Instead of succeeding, he confronts an elusive set of surfaces which remain opaque, as in the scene where Francesca hides an orgy with her husband by covering a window with white foam from an aerosol can. Sontag maintains the expectation of comprehension through our hopes for the sympathetic characters' efforts to find out just what the Bauers' "game" is. But epiphany never occurs; the film offers no knowledgeable scientist who has the secrets of vampires...
