...Minoru Yamasaki of the World Trade Center, or spokesmen of cultural grandeur like I.M. Pei. Indeed, given the architecture Americans have had for 40 years, such a description virtually deprives Post-Modernism of living father figures. There are, of course, dead grandfathers, from the Catalan master of Art Nouveau, Antoni Gaudi (1852-1926), to the English imperial architect Sir Edward Lutyens, whose richly coded and sometimes wildly illogical structures were left wherever the British army marched, from the Somme battlefields to New Delhi...

...pictures begins in the formalized Romanesque murals he saw as a child in the museums and churches round Barcelona. His drawing, too, is in Catalan. It stems from art nouveau, the civic style of turn-of-the-century Barcelona, whose façades and courtyards Architect Antoni Gaudi (1852-1926) and his disciples encrusted with an exuberant riot of decorative line. In Gaudi's hands, art nouveau took on a tumid, visceral energy that no other European architect could manage...
Eddie Egan, the super-narc who overrode all authority in his attacks on drug traffic in The French Connection, is nowhere in sight in The Seven-Ups. Like the previous film, and Bullitt, this is a Phil D' Antoni production, mindless and numbing. D'Antoni is more careful at limiting his hero's powers in this second-effort: delivering the further exploits of Egan's former partner, Sonny Grosso, he lends Grosso's fictional counterpart, Buddy Mannucci, an institutional weight that Egan lacked. Mannucci heads a special plain-clothes corps aimed at gaining arrests (by unorthodox means) of men wanted...
Despite their crude attempts to throw potential detractors off-guard, Magnum Force's Ted Post and The Seven-Ups' Phil D'Antoni, as well as The Laughing Policeman's Stuart Rosenberg, are interested mainly in zapping their audiences. Force's liberal apologia count for naught when the director's only feeling is for carnage (a man's head getting shorn by a girder, or a pimp choking a whore with Draino). And The Seven-Ups' story of mixed roots in Little Italy--strong Buddy grows up to be a cop, while his weak friend Vito turns crook--is naturalism used...
