Equus- I originally bought this movie because I
like "Amadeus" which is also adapted from a Peter Shaffer play.

It's a thought provoking
play/movie that leaves you thinking "what the hell was that all about?" but in a good way.

Richard Burton
is craggy, brooding and charismatic as in all his movies and for anyone who has ever suspected
that psychiatry/psychology might be a load of bunkum, this movie/play asks some important
questions about the role of psychiatry aswell as about conformity, religion/atheism, modernity, art and humanity.

BTW, male fans of Jenny Agutter might also find the nude stable scenes of interest.

I give this movie 9/10
