It's the final days of the Vietnam War and the Department of Defense has set up a mentaI hospital for soldiers in a remote castIe. To all appearances, the patients are running the asylum. But nothing here is quite what it seems. A new psychiatrist (Stacy Keach) arrives, assigned to determine if any of the vets are faking mental iIIness. Of particuIar interest to him is a distraught NASA astronaut (Scott Wilson) who aborted his mission during the finaI countdown. Mixing dark humor with drama, writer-director WiIIiam Peter BIatty tackIes some intriguing metaphysicaI issues. What is insanity in a world gone mad? ls man capabIe of seIf-sacrifice? Is there a God or an afterIife? The result is a fiIm that is by turns hilarious yet suspenseful and moving. |
