...without Words I and Illuminations are curious productions. The first an accelerated and expurgated history of humankind. Paul Schmidt is The Man and for perhaps fifteen vaguely humorous minutes he clutches at the summum bonum. Then he declines, as do we all to a blasted heap of insensibility. It is worth the fifteen minutes, I think, just to see Paul Schmidt portray a blasted heap...
