...radar-directed approach was perfect until he was only a few hundred yards short of the runway. Then the control-tower radar scanner saw in horror that the huge DC-8 suddenly had sunk twenty feet below the correct glide path. "Level off," commanded the tower operator.

Repulsion is undeniably interesting, and should give most people frisson or two. But like the opening credits, which glide up and down Miss Deneuve's glistening eyeball, the movie as whole is silly and uninspired...
