...main trouble is that Wexler expects the events to tell us that media lie rather than expressing it through the humanity of his characters. To have a boy love pigeons and dream of the old golden fields of West Virginia is a filmmaker's cliche of true human value.

It is somehow very funny, as the contestant scurries from square to square, from the New Left to the fraternity house, from a shrink to an understanding Jewish girl who tells him to read The Prophet "without intellectualizing." All this is also, as you might guess, pretty...
