...owner of the land, the J. Paul Getty Trust, plans to live up to that Roman precedent with an enterprise of imperial scope. The trust, which administers the world's richest endowment in the visual arts, will erect a $100 million-plus arts and humanities complex. Scheduled for completion in 1991, the complex is to include a museum, a conservation institute and an academic center for research in art history, the last including housing for scholars.

Within the film's first few minutes, Russell and Screenwriter Barry Sandier have thrown every visual, verbal and sexual excess at the viewer. A played-out stripper dances while men masturbate at peepholes and a deranged preacher (Anthony Perkins) imagines her dead on the floor. The hooker dresses up in a tiara and a blue satin gown to play a beauty-pageant contender with an unusual talent. Neon flares...
