But the canyon dwellers, accustomed to huts made of rock, sheet metal or scrap wood, neither understand nor trust the offering...
...with his case, the film has the effrontery to play him for an existential hero at odds with an unfriendly world. Weekend, deprived of its central motor and direction of characters' sensibility, may well be "wandering in the cosmos." But Bullitt, which betrays sensibility, was certainly "found on the scrap-heap...
