There would be no quicker way to draw wrath than any attempt to follow up on his declaration that "we reserve the right to strike at Israeli civilians...
...Yorkers, and all nine, Katz points out, "have spent some time playing in bands around town or scuffling in Greenwich Village." The pace and aggression of the city flash through their tensile, hard-edged sound.

In his soft-centered drama of sex as destroyer and healer, the once promising film maker sedulously apes D. H. Lawrence, whom he seems to have both studied and misunderstood. In the future, Pasolini might well heed an earlier author, whose Sonnet 94 could have been addressed to artists who inflict private fantasies on their public...
