Cody (Joe Cullen - Otto in Design for Living), a Wyoming cowboy, has the lucrative gift of dreaming the winners of horse races. When Fingers (Diane Slamp - Herodias in Salome) and her gang of mobsters discover Cody, the somnolence psychic, they kidnap him and shackle him in a ramshackled motel room (location unknown). Here, in these smashed-up quarters, Cody is shackled to a bed, where he dreams winner after winner, making the mobsters millions until Cody becomes dream-locked in a fog for weeks, useless at his abilities to pick the right horse. What will the consequences be?
Shepard's folly, poetry and dark humor in Geography of a Horse Dreamer (1974) seems to be a riff off his rock-music battle for stardom in his renowned work A Tooth of Crime (1972), where Shepard fuses rock and roll, drugs and crime to populate a world of a fireball-music gang leader Hoss who is crazed about fame. These fantasy universes are overflowing with the passion and angst for art, love for the American West and Shepard's disillusionment with the American Dream.
Ages: 16 and older
