Review
Bruce Davison's dreams have the power to change reality in a classy adaptation of Ursula K LeGuin's popular novel. Can psychologist Kevin Conway manipulate him into dreaming a better world? Taking on lofty Kafka-esque subtexts, and using Texas landscapes to suggest the future, this subtle fantasy raises pertinent questions about individualism and the march of progress at any cost. Recommended.
