Based on a song by
Leonard Cohen, this peculiar experimental film set in late-'60s San Francisco was executive-produced by game-show mogul
Gene Barry, the director's father. It concerns Suzanne (
Sondra Locke), who gets crucified in a film-within-a-film which receives much of the screen time. Suzanne is meant to be a Christ figure, and the story focuses on her use as a doomed symbol for the beliefs of Manson-like filmmaker
Jared Martin.
Richard Dreyfuss and
Paul Sand are among the cast of this offbeat, grungy little film which deserves points for originality if nothing else. ~ Robert Firsching, All Movie Guide
