SHAMPOO offers a sharp sexual satire and a mature statement on both America and Hollywood in 1968.
Hal Ashby has the deftness to keep us conscious of the whirring pleasures of the carnal-farce structure and yet to give it free play. This is the most virtuoso example of sophisticated, kaleidoscopic facrce that American moviemakers have yet come up with.
