Lost In Space TIME April 10, 1972
Slaughterhouse-FiveBilly Pilgrim (Michael Sacks) is an innocent and this Pilgrim's Progress is a capricious pirouette down the corridors of time. Slaughterhouse-Five was Kurt Vonnegut's most widely popular novel, an attempt to impose comic order onto moral chaos. But it has been adapted here with undue reverence. The movie cuts from WWII, where Pilgrim is a P.O.W. during the fire-bombing of Dresden, through his model surburbanite's life in Illium, N.Y., to an improbable future on the planet of Tralfamadore, where he is doomed to pass enternity with a molestable movie star named Montana Wildhack. In its elaborate structure and editing, its leaping bounds between fact and fancy, the film is like a version of Last Year In Marienbad revised for a showing on Sesame Street.
