...further, presenting the Don as not merely a sex-obsessed boudoir-supremacist womanizing his way to damnation, but as a supranatural embodiment of alienated man, offered up as an atoning sacrifice.

The animal's corpse on the altar diminishes by bloody stages throughout the action, as Don Juan moves on to his own final holocaust in a cataclysm of light and,, sound...

One 10-million-sq.-mi. area in the Pacific, he estimates, has nodules worth hundreds of thousands of dollars per square mile...
