...household and every bed he approaches in his travels without so much as an introduction. But when the implication is that "this is all ye know and need to know"--the ultimate panacea--one wonders about the starving Indian peasants who this film loves to display dancing and smoking dope: They're in rags, but they're spiritually free...
