The Second Coming of Suzanne (1974)

 
THE SECOND COMING OF SUZANNE  (1974)  ¢ 1/2
    D: Michael Barry
    Sondra Locke, Paul Sand, Jared Martin, Gene Barry,
    Richard Dreyfuss, Kari Avalos, Penelope Spheeris
About 14 minutes into this, I found myself wondering whether anything in it was ever going to make sense. Nothing did. There's a painter. And a filmmaker. And Richard Dreyfuss as some sort of production assistant. And some hippies. And a young girl who won't talk. And the title character, apparently lifted from the Leonard Cohen song, played by a sleepwalking Sondra Locke. It ends with a crucifixion, but I'm not sure that's worth hanging around for. The title makes it sound like a '70s porno flick. It's not, but that might've been more interesting.
