...suspicious when I took my place among the crowd in the Leverett Old Library to watch "Hair" this weekend. I remembered "Hair" from high school, too. The cast painted flowers on the audience members' cheeks and they had us all join in a rousing rendition of "Let the Sun Shine In" at the finale.

...this is fine, if a little too stridently observed--see David sweat in slow motion. But then he finds his true love (Lynn Redgrave!) and Shine takes a dive into soapsuds. The film ceases to be a cogent study of the disease of genius and devolves into two lesser creatures: an ordinary weepie and an Oscar contender.
