...child so destroyed his values and trust in the world that he finds it necessary to stab people for entertainment to kill an old woman who had been kind to him in childhood, and in what seems to be the central scene of the film, exposes a sweet and innocent girl whom he loves and who loves him, lying prostrate and expectant, to another man.

Lexy's roommate Josh is well-rooted in America but emotionally rootless, blond, bland and sweet-mannered. Lexy, who has run away from his unscrupulous shipowner father, is pursuing a hero image of himself. He is capable of madly egocentric flourishes, as when he bets an ear against $20 on the turn of a card. Josh, who sees college as a succession of merit badges...
