I checked this movie out of the library after reading an obituary of Mr. Harris. I was totally unfamiliar with it. After viewing it, I found and felt it to be one of the most powerful movies I think I've ever seen. I felt the characterizations were well-played, the metaphor of the field well enunciated without being overpowering, the pace relentless and the ending entirely in keeping with the story. The cinematography was first rate as it emphasized and delineated the brooding, lowering story. While it is for me a very disturbing and thought-provoking film, in the end I came away profoundly moved and touched by it.
