Review of Birds in Peru

"Birds Come To Die In Peru" is a pseudo-bold movie about a frigid nymphomaniac (as Pauline Kael so accurately puts it) which, however, skirts around both issues in a we're-not-allowed-to-say-the-words way that is actually quite timid for a 1968 movie; in other words, don't get too eXcited about the X rating the film originally received, it is barely PG-13 worthy (and although Jean Seberg receives many loving close-ups from her husband-director, she doesn't show anything below shoulder-level). Endless shots of birds flying no doubt symbolize something - most likely the film's lack of budget. The chauffer is probably the most intriguing character. *1/2 out of 4.
