But even while Andrew Sarris observed that "the people looked awkwardly real.. and the mise-en-scene seemed to lack the deep planes of visual complexity," he still gave the film a favorable review. Sayles developed a number of projects after Secaucus Seven, including scripts for The Howling and The Clan of the Cave Bear, a TV series entitled Shannon's Deal, and a major novel, Los Gusanos (The Worms). He was aided in his work by his award of a John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur "genius" grant in 1983, which paid him $30,000 annually for five years.
At the film's close, grim and grimy monochrome images of Chinatown accompany the jaunty strains of "Grant Street, San Francisco" from Rodgers and Hammerstein's Flower Drum Song. The process of watching the film can be likened to meditating on a Zen koan—the point being not to solve the mystery but to gain illumination by forcing one's mind through a paradoxical exercise. As such, the film is not a suspense thriller in the Hitchcock tradition, but an unsolved mystery in the Antonioni and Altaian mode.
