Madness is endemic at an isolated castle where a collection of misfit Vietnam soldiers are undergoing a strange, experimental psychiatric play therapy under the guidance of their odd, yet benevolent psychiatrist. This week, we're taking a look at William Peter Blatty's bizarre directorial debut, The Ninth Configuration, a weird tragicomedy that bewilderingly lurches between screwball hijinks and dead-serious soul-searching, offering a frequently confounding, yet always amusing watching experience.
