Clarke and Wackerbarth represent two other extremes: Clarke the intellectually artistic, and Wackerbarth the commercially artistic. Previous collaborators on a West German exhibition project, both men share an ideal of photography that demands intellectual as well as purely aesthetic content. The surprisingly copious text was written by William Least Heat Moon (chosen perhaps because his first book was entitled Blue Highways...
...retelling of the D Annunciation: Sarah is a blissed-out Virgin Mary, John is her divine son, and Reese the messenger angel sent to impregnate Sarah with the holy word. But there is plenty of tech-noir savvy to keep infidels and action fans satisfied. The violence is copious, clean and discreet. Director James Cameron (who wrote the script with Producer Gale Anne Kurd) has a superefficient editing style that uses slow motion, pixilation and infra-red opticals to make this the smartest looking L.A. nighttown movie since The Driver...
...wish to come, so there is a space problem."

He also takes copious mental notes about what went well, what went poorly and what could be changed for the next year...

They mesh oddly with the more detached, sardonic skits which are this film's major departure from previous technique. The knack for inspired nonsense remains--no other sensibility could mock Catholicism through the spectacle of rows of nuns. Busby-Berkeley-style, caroling that "Every sperm is sacred." But the addition of an explicit theme quiets the ridiculous proceedings somewhat, leading the film to a previously avoided mass-appeal glossiness. Distributed through Universal Pictures, Meaning...
