"Greetings was De Palma's first movie to receive national distribution. Given the Silver Bear award at the 1969 Berlin International Festival, Greetings, after Murder a la Mod, was another game of three. This time, however, the three principal characters are male and reflect three pervasive concerns of the Sixties: the Kennedy assassination, the Vietnam War, and the sexual revolution (in the form of pornography). Once again filled with New Wave jump cuts and freeze frames, which De Palma had by this time expertly integrated into his own style, Greetings evokes Godard on a broad level. For while the movie makes us cringe at the 1960s political and social absurdities by simply documenting them, the counterculture lives led by the three protagonists are seen as not much of an improvement on the 'Great Society.' ...De Palma is not as interested in taking sides as he is in entering into a dialectic exposing both, even if one side is inevitably favored." --American Film
