1h 50m
Directed by Aram Avakian • 1970 • United States
Starring Stacy Keach, James Earl Jones, Harris Yulin
This X-rated, cult-classic black comedy is one of the most subversive, totally nihilistic transmissions from the fringes of the 1970s New Hollywood. A daring adaptation of the novel by John Barth filtered through the counterculture sensibility of screenwriter Terry Southern, END OF THE ROAD follows college grad Jacob Horner (Stacy Keach), who, after a catatonic episode, finds himself at “The Farm,” a sanitarium presided over the very, very unorthodox Doctor D (a totally deranged James Earl Jones). Following his discharge, Horner takes a job as a professor—but an affair with a colleague’s wife has disastrous consequences.
