saw this dud in london when i be head east in 82. it be the bad kind of cinematic torture . one of the most pretentious and boring thing i have see . the radiant julie christie look as drab a your auntie eyesore . she have just turn down a million buck to star in the greek tycoon . then she come up with this piece of aimless drivel . to my mind it mark the downward turn in her career . instead of show the film world she be still a player ( post beatty ) and she drop out and bomb do it . can not understand how this tripe have make it to dvd . there be a bunch of good christie film that warrant the medium represent darling and far from the madding crowd and petulia and the go between and mccabe and mrs. miller and don not look now and or her personal triumph in afterglow . want obscure . what about the underrated return of the soldier and heat and dust or the railway station man . talk about get it wrong . i expect the next one out of her will be in search of gregory . at least criterion be offer billy liar . it good check it out . avoid memoir of a survivor .
