Beautiful photography from Michel Brault, some elegant music, a crisp script from Salter channeling Chayefsky, and two terrific lead performances. Sutherland is channeling a toned-down Hawkeye, whereas Goldblum is laying the foundation for Seth Brundle. The dialogue is terrific, controlled and careful, yet revealing.

Criminally underseen Canadian medical drama slash speculative science fiction. Donald Sutherland is incredible and a young Jeff Goldblum holds his own very well. Great camerawork too. It's a shame this isn't on DVD.
