Clashing Souls. Throughout Larry Kramer's literate scenario the Lawrentian themes blaze and gutter. The sooty mind-crushing coal mines that young Lawrence knew like the back of his land are re-created in all their malignance. The annealing quality of sex is exhibited in the most erotic-and tasteful-lust scenes anywhere in contemporary film. The century's agonies are brilliantly prefigured in a series of poor and privileged characters who speak out against forces they can discern but not define...

If they had, something might have happened-a cop killed, cut off from others, mauled by twenty or thirty people. And the something and something else; I had cast the scenario all afternoon. The rock-throwing affinity groups seemed to know what they were doing. They also seemed to be largely high-school age, perhaps organized in a Weatherman "jailbreak...
