In England, a man comes out of a 30 year coma, and he is just as clueless about the world as any newborn. There's the age old conflict between American and British scientists over how we learn best. The American position favors lessons from life, while the Brits are sticklers for academic discipline.. And talk about taking baby steps! After an hour I felt like I'd listened to every lesson drilled into schoolchildren during childhood, and heard nothing but quarreling from the eggheads in charge. Terence Stamp as the man-child is a typically sensitive, nuanced performance all his own, but the film is all too slow and repetitious for me.
From boredom.
