Equus Reviews
Equus
This original and bizarre story ia as good on film as it was on the stage.Although the subject matter is disturbing-the intentional blinding of several horses by a troubled youth-the
movie seems to transcend the average psyco-drama horror genre.
The two stars, Peter Firth and Richard Burton, are effective
as doctor and patient.Montgomery Clift once said "Richard Burton
does not act, he recites." Burton,however, is convincing as a
psychiatrist who seems as intensely fraught as his patient. There is also a good supporting cast and cinematography.
An extraordinary cast. An extraordinary play.
Burton's basso profundo voice, and Peter Firth's sad, soulful eyes give this film/play a depth and dignity that is rare in drama. What is this play about, anyway? Is it about a boy, or about a psychiatrist? Is it about sexual dysfuntion? Is it about religion? To me, it's hard to say exactly what it's about, or where exactly it takes you, but it deeply stirs the soul.
