Misery** 

(US 1990)                    

A romantic author crippled in a car crash is imprisoned and cared for by his psychotic no. 1 fan.
One of the best of the Stephen King film adaptations, a grimly gruesome allegory about the artist trying to break away from typecasting in the face of his over-eager audience, with more emphasis on character than usual in spite of King's usual excesses - which when they come, are still pretty gruesome.

Starring: James Caan, Kathy Bates, Richard Farnsworth, Frances Sternhagen, Lauren Bacall, J.T. Walsh.
