...example, a radiant image of a boy sipping from a shadowy stream of falling water is entitled "Sed Publica" (Public Thirst). The commentary gives some interesting information about ancient sacrifice rituals and the Aztec's conception of water as life source. But Bravo's provocative title refers to a contemporary socio-economic reality which the commentary ignores. Similarly, the series of female nudes titled "Xipe" are explained solely in reference to the ancient "flayed goddess" of the same name.

...most important goal for the 21st century is family planning for everyone. That is the environmental issue.

Any minute, you expect to see those damn flamingos. The soundtrack is equally overblown, with swelling orchestration to hammer every point home. There are no quiet bits; there is no restraint whatsoever. If "Dances With Wolves" was masturbatory, "The Last of the Mohicans" experiments with autoerotic asphyxiation. Motorhead, playing Wagner, would be more subtle...
