...with Wagner's excellent performance are some of the visual montages and images interspersed with the dialogue. Depictions of the bayou itself are rich and surprisingly colorful, as is the airstrip where Henry and Joey occasionally meet to discuss their eel-trapping. Dream sequences in which Joey attempts to come to terms both with his new vocation and the "creature" that’s living inside their bedroom wall are filmed in wonderful blues and reds which fade into and out of one another as he traverses the line between sleep and consciousness. Additionally, some of the symbolism inherent...

He's a genuine experimenter with a spooky visual style. Max might be speaking for his gifted creator when he says, "I'm on the edge, and that's where it happens." We wish...

There was a fundamental flaw in your selection process. By beginning your search for the 100 with neat categories and subcategories, you oversimplified a complicated century and avoided the most interesting debates. For example, by allowing room for only one writer and one visual artist, you begged the questions, Are writers and artists equally influential? Is a TV host as important? Could there be a second writer whose influence outweighs, say, Bart Simpson, your choice as cartoon character? You effortlessly sidestepped these questions. And so again an interesting idea is dumbed down for an impatient society. PETER MARTINO Roxbury, Conn...
