Storyline:The heavily-nominated film (with eight nominations) was a multiple-Academy Award winning effort, taking accolades in five categories: Best Director (William Friedkin), Best Actor (Hackman with his first Oscar), Best Adapted Screenplay (Ernest Tidyman), Best Editing (Jerry Greenberg), and Best Picture.It was filled with sexual metaphors, including semi-incestuous desire, jealousy, seduction, frigidity, virginity, off-screen rape by a brutal male attacker, insanity and sexual aversion leading to homicide - a predecessor to Roman Polanski""sRepulsion (1965), and sharing many similarities with Hitchcock""sRebecca (1940).He used his chorines not as individuals but as attractive parts of large yet abstract geometric patterns moving with precise choreography."Balthus and the red-robed cultists hiked with torches through the jungle to the Oasis, encountering along the way the skeletal remains (with shrunken heads) of previous explorers (Roman legionnaires from Julius Caesar""s time, and turn of the century French legionnaires from Napoleon""s time), some of whom had been imprisoned in cages.
