rich, interestingly illustrated essay on a sequence in Abel Ferrara's "Body Snatchers", which had BC's own Meg Tilly in an amazing performance--Come Into My Sleep
"The impassive stepmother waits for her spouse in the hallway, hoping to convince him to not resist --for life will be beautiful if, like everybody else, he just renounces emotion and individuality. And she recites the bewitching chant that "Body Snatchers" reworks from a tormented love scene in Budd Boetticher's "The Rise and Fall of Legs Diamond" (1960): "Where you gonna go? Where ya gonna run? Where ya gonna hide? Nowhere. Coz there's no one ... like you ... left." "
