Richard Burton gives one of his best performances ever in this elegant and provocative tale of myth and madness. What would drive Alan Strang (Peter Firth), a troubled adolescent stable boy, to blind six horses with a metal spike? Psychiatrist Martin Dysart (Burton) investiagtes 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.
