There's a moment about three - quarters
of the way through BPM — this crucial shot's placement in the narrative, neither too early nor too late, is another mark
of this film's exacting delicacy — when we get a glimpse into the dream world
of Sean, a passionate
lover of both
life in
general and his new boyfriend in particular, who's unrelievedly furious at the prospect
of dying this far before his time.

To childhood sweetheart Geraldine Chaplin he is a devoted (if cheating) husband; to Julie Christie, with whom he is thrown together by war, he is a passionate
lover; to Tom Courtenay, once an intellectual but later a heartless Red
general, he's a symbol
of the personal
life which revolution has supposedly killed; to lecherous, political log - roller Rod Steiger he's the epitome
of «rarefied selfishness»; and to half - brother Alec Guinness, the cold secret police official, he's a man who must be saved from himself.
