Directed by Richard Brooks
Diane Keaton is riveting as Theresa Dunn: bored, unfulfilled schoolteacher by day, bar-hopping sex addict by night. Seeking a deliverance from her enervating existence, she spirals into ever-greater sexual and chemical excesses, suggesting a very different worldview from earlier Brooks films--here is a universe with no answers and no rescue. A brave and terrifying vision, the film is an exhilarating artistic achievement.
