Jacob's Ladder (Imprint Collection #207)
Divorced Vietnam veteran turned postman Jacob Singer (Tim Robbins) is disturbed when he begins to be plagued by bizarre and violent hallucinations, both of the family he has abandoned and a bloody battle he could not previously remember. So strong are the images that the line between past and present, real and unreal, begins to dissolve. Desperate for help, Jacob turns to his ex-wife, Sarah, and chiropractor Louis (Danny Aiello).
Critic Reviews:
- " It is just one of those films that will get under your skin and stay with you. In 31 years, it hasn't aged a day. " – Graeme Tuckett (Stuff.co.nz)
- " It is this constant slippage into uncertainty that makes Jacob's Ladder unique. Lyne's focus on the sensual experiences of his character helps blur that line between dream and reality… " – Manuela Lazic (The Ringer)
- " For hours and days after you've seen it, you'll still be putting it together in your head. While all of it is gripping, it doesn't come together until the final scene, which is jolting, transcendent, unexpected yet inevitable. " – John Hartl (Seattle Times)
