...chest and 20-ft. arm span, the $2 million anthropoid is animated by 4,500 ft. of electrical wiring, 3,100 ft. of hydraulic hose and 50 hydraulic jacks that control his movements. The critics may term his acting mechanical, but at least the bionic baboon has seven distinct facial expressions, which is six more than the bionic man can claim.

Erland Josephson also gives a remarkable performance--better even than in Scenes from a Marriage--as Tomas, Jenny's friend, and later her doctor. And again, the details of Jenny's collapse are convincing...
