Based onitheiplay byiPeter Shaffer
This Oscar-nominated adaptation of Peter Shaffer's Tony Award-winning play erupts on the screen with the same power and passion as the stage original. Richard Burton gives "one of his best performances ever" (Boxoffice) in this "elegant and provocative" (Newsweek) take of myth and madness.
What would drive Alan Stang (Peter Firth), a troubled adolescent stable boy, to blind six horses with a metal spike? Psychiatrist Martin Dysart (Burton) investigates these unspeakable acts and delves deep into Alan's psyche, confronting the mysteries of sexual passion and madness-as well as the dark demons buried within his own soul.

This is a "must own" for any serious movie buff - 3.5 out of 5 (4/22/2003)
The playwrite Peter Schaffer was reading the newspaper in England one morning when he came across the story of a teenage boy who had blinded several horses with a metal spike. Not kill the horses - but blind them. He wrote a play to explain why the kid did it. Richard Burton is astonishing late in his career, and Peter Firth is so GOOD as the boy, it RUINED his career.
No extra features is a bummer, but I was sure this movie would never make the conversion to DVD, so I'm elated it exists at all
