In the late '60s and early '70s, as American directors like Arthur Penn (in Bonnie and Clyde) and Sam Peckinpah (in everything) pioneered the use of gaudy, picturesque images of violence, European directors like Bernardo Bertolucci (Last Tango in Paris) and Nagisa Oshima (In the Realm of the Senses) made the screen a place where the intimacies of adult couples could be dramatized...

In the case of Kingdom Come, Ballard had to look no farther than Shepperton, hard by the M25 and Heathrow. "I've seen the southeast of England transformed from a realm of Georgian restorations, Gothic quadrangles and village greens into a world of motorways, surveillance cameras, business parks and vast retail operations. I've seen the proliferation of St. George's flags, as the white middle class retribalizes itself. It's not racist, yet. But we've had waves of immigration...
