An exhaustive, tiresome read, written by an uncredited reviewer who appears to hold the conviction that by stringing together octo-syllabic words and peppering them with a pinch of obscure French and a shake of archaic Latin maketh an intelligent argument!

| Synopsis |
In high-faluted tones, the reviewer disparages the efforts of director Peter Weir, stating that "it is in the nature of the genre film, that its acceptance is not invalidateed by multi-schematic signification. Where this does not occur and acccess to metaphoric levels is restricted, the superficial contact level fails to engage full attention and lays the film open to the charge of banality"(275)
Huh?
Opting to be slightly less oblique in his/her remarks, when speaking of the films epilogue, the reviewer 'chides' pat or maternally that "the failure to tie up loose ends in one inevitable 'natural' design is one of the characteristic embarrassments of watching an ingenue at work in a sophisticated genre"(275)
Why, of course! |
