Synopsis: The life of a veteran from Vietnam is perturbed by visions, hallucinations and flashbacks. But how to know which are which? | |
Review: I have been hearing about this movie for a long time, and thought it was a horror one, which it is not. Some of the visions are pretty scary or disturbing, and I found that their apparition is well timed and makes you feel the gradual descent of the main character (Robbins, impeccable) towards madness. We are also less and less sure of what is real or not, and what is flashback or present, although the structure of the movie is still coherent and doesn't lose you. This is not always the case with the kind of movies. | |
