I Never Promised You A Rose Garden

I Never Promised You A Rose Garden

"While One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest offered a subversive and satirical look at psychiatric institution, Rose Garden delivered a dramatic, emotionally compelling portrait of the young woman's experience of psychiatric treatment. This Oscar?-nominated screenplay was adapted from the best-selling novel by Hannah Green. It features a critically acclaimed performance by a young Kathleen Quinlan in an extremely challenging role. Shot with stark realism, the film pulls no punches in its depiction of a psychiatric ward, while maintaining individual and sensitive portrayals of the hospital's residents." - Roger Corman

In her critically acclaimed performance, KATHLEEN QUINLAN inhabits Deborah, a mentally ill teen who struggles between fantasy and reality, escaping to her own imaginary world. Deborah is sent to a psychiatric hospital for treatment by Dr. Fried (Ingmar Bergman favorite BIBI ANDERSON), who must attempt to rescue Deborah from the cruel beauty of her inner world.
