Is it for you?

Who'll love it
One for anyone who loves a strong drama. One to watch when you can give it your full attention.
The mood
Thoughtful and character-driven.
The pace
Takes its time with its characters, at 1 hr 40 min.
What might put you off
  • Made in 1977: an older pace and style.
  • Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.

Jolted out of his self-pity by a friend who teaches him to ski, a wounded Vietnam vet comes to look on his double amputation not as a "handicap" but rather "just a little inconvenience."
