...family mansion at the end of a dead-end street, watches people on the street through a pocket telescope. This utterly point-of-view technique separates him from the film's dramatic action and makes him a moral observer, murmuring "do it" or "no, no" as the blacks who inhabit the rest of the street perform the actions...

It is not in South America; it is a neverland where everybody has the same fingerprints and sexual intercourse occurs only when the temperature is between 66° and 69° Fahrenheit...
...Antonioni condemns. In a brief meeting with some beautiful deranged children, corrupt as the angelic demons that end Fellini's Toby Dammit and La Dolce Vita, Daria is threatened by infantile gang rape and escapes fast, horrified at 'these mutants removed from society by a friend of hers.

Some 12,000 inhabit the Minneapolis-St. Paul area, almost half in shabby apartment houses and creaky Victorian houses near Minneapolis' Franklin Avenue, which cops and Indians alike call "the reservation...
