Example text

Merrin, this vicarious image of ourselves, is slow, old, and sickly. He has difficulty getting up, and he walks unsteadily about the pits. Even his hat, distinct from the kaffiyehs, is shaken by the whipping whirlwinds, and he fumbles to keep it in place. ’’ 17 When Merrin penetrates the dry and dark orifice of this aggressive, feminine land, he is unlucky, because this place does not conceal or give birth to great treasures. It is a decaying land, as tritely signified by the fly that lands upon his hand.

It is filled with stones and jagged rock formations, scarred with pits, and linked by confusing labyrinths. It is properly staffed with the Oriental icons of shepherds and their flocks, along with a camel caravan. However, this place is not a blissful, virginal, and agricultural scene of Orientalist fantasy. Its chance at fecundity seems long past. It is, as the audience is informed, Northern Iraq, and it captures the fantasized characteristics of medieval Hell. It is a wretched land, scorched by that strange and fiery sun disk, and seemingly still smoldering.

To disguise this shortcoming, Kermode cleverly peppers his review with behind-the-scenes trivia to the exorcist keep his readers interested. Williams’s approach, in contrast, is more analytical, but it cuts out the narrative’s beginning, relies upon its complex middle and end, and points out the unsuccessful story line of the film. Without a more concerted reconciliation of the Iraq prologue with the remainder of the movie, critics are missing its importance as a contextual frame that director William Friedkin and the novel’s and screenplay’s author William Peter Blatty so meticulously put before the audience during the first ten minutes.
