...Faith, with so much to live for, suddenly embraced death. Faith's boyfriend (Christopher Eccleston) knows more than he's telling and doles out information with annoying reluctance. A counterculture tragedy--innocent hippie turns violent revolutionary--finally emerges. The film is too pretty and schematic, but it does envelop the viewer in rue for a wasted life...
