DONT DARE STARE
We are introduced to the title character at the height of summer, in sweltering heat. The man is covered in "Skin illustrations ... dont ever call them tatoo`s." He meets a fellow traveller who becomes curious about the images drawn all over his body. There is a space left unmarked on his left shoulder, to look at it summons visions of the future, visions of your end.
The film tells three tales set in the future, all revealed to the traveller who shares the company of the illustrated man, a threatening, aggressive hobo, who carries within him a world of pain and rage. The sets recall those of Star Trek, they are very basic and utilitarian, the special effects seem dated given how far CGI has advanced over the decades, and the film is very much rooted in the mores of its time.
There are highlights in this uneven parable, Philip Lathrop`s photography is luminescent, there is a strikingly impressionistic score from the great Jerry Goldsmith, and a charismatic portrayal of brooding intensity from the legendery Rod Steiger, as well as the beguiling prescence of his beautiful wife Claire Bloom. Overall a still fascinating gem of the sci fi genre.
