Vision Quest
1985
105 Min
In this stirring coming-of-age story based on Terry Davis’s novel, a Spokane, Wash., high school wrestler (Matthew Modine) pursues his “vision quest” — winning the state championship and finding true love. But he won’t do it alone. Advising him are his best friend (Michael Schoeffling) and a seductive, slightly older woman (Linda Fiorentino, in one of her first roles). Madonna makes her first film appearance, crooning “Crazy for You” in a bar.
This was made in my hometown and I wish it was better. But the two things making it worthwhile is Modine's performance and Tangerine Dream's score.
