In Tango, she hits upon the bleak, angry use of explicit sex; in Shampoo, the expansion of the conventional romantic triangle into a romantic pentagon; and in Nashville, the seamless fusion of stylization and a documentary feel. She jumps up and down at these new affects, and never settles down to put her surgeon's tools to work. Sparked by a childlike fascination for film history and change...
