...movie, which will open in New York City on Feb. 1, is already a sensation and a scandal in Europe. It has been called a work of "constant beauty"; a piece of "talented debauchery that often makes you want to vomit" as well as an "authentic moral and psychological Apocalypse." It will affirm the resurgence of one of the great talents of the age, one who had seemed, through the 1960s, to be erratically and sometimes disastrously in decline: Marlon Brando. Brando is already being touted as an Academy Award contender for his role in last year...

...PREPPY HANDBOOK, published in 1980, lists more than two dozen phrases meaning "to vomit." This is no mistake. Perhaps more than any other group in recent decades, the youth of the 1980s revel in bad taste. For the generation that grew up with Saturday Night Live and Animal House, nothing is funnier than a well told puke joke...

One of his victims, Sandra Trine, 37, died when she choked on her own vomit during the rape. On Aug. 11, after pleading guilty to 13 counts of rape and one of first-degree murder, he was given a stiff sentence of 142 years.

Other segments demonstrate the highly developed technique of the gross-out, featuring copious vomit, blood, genitals, and disembodied organs ("Can we have your liver, then?") They mesh oddly with the more detached, sardonic skits which are this film's major departure from previous technique. The knack for inspired nonsense remains--no other sensibility could mock Catholicism through the spectacle of rows of nuns. Busby-Berkeley-style, caroling that "Every sperm is sacred."
