What he did have (but began to lose in his early 30s) was an abundant response to the physical world, a libidinous sense of fat-nuanced paint, sure tonal structure and a narrative passion for the density of life in New York City...
Madeline (Meryl Streep), an actress, and Helen (Goldie Hawn), a writer, are obsessed with their bodies. They will go to a quack doctor or a fat farm to get flat and firm. To find a potion that will keep them forever young -- a kind of Preparation Age -- Mad and Hell will even make a mud-pact with Satan. And you can bet the devil is a woman (Isabella Rossellini).
