That is to say its settings, a drab, typical midwsstern city and its everyday' people-are the stuff of Americana and therefore what Myers' hero experience provokes a profound sense of recognition.

Truly, Myers succeeds totally in expressing the universal in the particular. He realizes just how powerful beautiful and telling images can be and lets us make the connections. Although he uses such contemporary- devices as step printing and electronic music, his picture is often reminiscent of Cocteau's "Orpheus" in its odyssey motif and in its various rituals and tableaux staged in derelict buildings. All told "Akran," a modern -day American "Dante's Inferno" on film, is a stunning achievement that enlarges the possibilities of its medium. ment of sex and violence we are subjected Indeed, Myers calls attention to the fact that "Akran" itself is a movie and is therefore a part of that barrage.

As compelling as the most clevely contrived escapist entertainment, "Akran" opens with Ohlrich, a husky blond youth, posing in a high school class picture and locking eyes with a pretty brunette (Pat Myers). Soon the screen is flooded with images of childhood birthday parties, Mother, etc. and then marriage the first apartment, a job, etc. Sense of Recognition But as "Akran" moves back and forth in time nostalgia gives way to a mood of increasing terror as its hero is gripped by sexual conflicts, nagged by doubts of his hetercscx-uality. Gradually, this harrowing confusion in sexual identity becomes a metaphor for the chaos of the world in which he lives; gradually, too, this nightmare ebbs.

Finally, we're back where we started, the circle completed. direct from an original screenplay by 1 1 Richards and Burt Hansen.

It Is hard to think of any film-maker who has met the challenge more completely under such stringent conditions or, for that matter, as completely as Richard Myers has in his "Akran" (at the Egg and the Eye today at 3, 7 and 9:30 p.m.). A surrealist masterpiece, it is at once a young man's quest for identity and an awe-inspiring evocation of the collective American experience in our time.

Its reality is the reality of a dream or, more precisely, a nightmare.
