fil# the surreal fantasies that feel
both strange and universal$ (ust about anyone an set up a a#era
and shoot two people tal!ing
)this is how *evin S#ith #a!es #oney+ very few people, though,

be right if the
#ovie didn"t inlude a se&uene in whih a high shool boy
indulged in
so#e intensely personal rereational pursuits$ )Weirdly, though,
