...is more reminiscent of Heinlein´s "Stranger in a strange land"..., which, when looked at twice yes, is kind of a remake of the Gospels from a Hippie/New Age point of view, touched by more than a few drops of libertarian sadism...The book was very good indeed. And it would need a real great scriptwriter, and a same height director to make a good film of it: maybe Gonzalez Iñarrirtu and his usual team could have done something...
