 Compare Prices and Read Reviews on Vision Quest at Epinions.com

Roeg's film bears some similarities to Lina Wertmuller's overrated Swept Away (1975 ITA), which spawned the even less pleasant Swept Away (2002 GB), but Donohoe is much better at keeping Reed in line than Mariangela Melato was with Giancarlo Giannini.
