...point, but the center around which everything else moves. It's a construct, not a natural--a device, not entertainment, and it's never been a great popular success. Too self-serious to project a world of beauty into which one would want to project oneself, "Kane" is too dark and heaving a work to have dignity; "Kane's" immaturity makes it condemnatory.

...bulletins from a combat zone. The battlefield is affluent urban America; the war is the sexual revolution of the 1970s. Mazursky describes the skirmishes in all their neurotic glory, tots up the emotion al casualties and tries to identify the survivors. He does so with both compassion and dark wit, and the result has been a remarkable string of films that document the changing mores of an exasperating decade. Indeed, Mazursky's social report age is so accurate that one can almost ignore his failures of style and storytelling...
