...them. Having eventually lost hope of any rediscovery, he gives himself over entirely to the cat's way of life: lapping water, shedding his clothes etc. Dementia and self-abandonment are, however, notorious invitations to over-acting and under-directing, and Daniels' savagery grows almost as histrionic as Nicholson's The Shining, Currier's loss of control with the picture almost as total as Kubrick...
