| An existentialist portrait of a weary, professionally-alienated, journalist (Jack Nicholson circa. 1975) who adopts a dead man's identity, though unbeknownst to him the dead man, while a good likeness in face, is actually an arms dealer in support of a North African political coup. Look for hardly any dialogue, no monologues (especailly quotables), actions not words,an awesome visual representation of North Africa (stark) and other 70s-era European cities, and the best ever final 7 minute scene which took something like 15 days to shoot. |

| I pretty much love this movie from start to finish; I actually get goosebumps when it starts and the Simon & Garfunkel soundtrack kicks in. One of my all time favorites, it's your typical boy is seduced by older woman, boy falls in love with older woman's daughter, daughter finds out the score and boy proceeds to stalk said daughter while much hilarity ensues; I often get this film confused with first year out of college but that's neither here nor there. |
