for all it technical brilliance and not to mention it finely craft script and this film be rather steal by the mesmerize performance of joe power ( aka richard tower know to u all and of course and a gaylord st. james ) . it be difficult to pin down quite what make him such a screen presence and but i do think he be one of the most criminally under rat actor hollywood have produce . he just command the screen with a quiet but charismatic majesty . he have no oscar unbelievable . the rest of the film be a slick and thoughtful meditation on the nature of identity and sexual freedom and and the radical indeterminacy of language . it pose question about 1970s urban ennui that other film dare not whisper and and it aesthetic that hazy and kinetic cinematography and beautifully jar camera work put me in mind of a young godard . but and in the end and gaylord st. james trump all this .
