Young
American Rick (Pitt) has a rare skin disease which makes it lethal for him to
be exposed to any kind of light. He wears black leather (wouldn’t white be
better? Covering everything, including his head and face. He and his extremely
wealthy parents are in Yugoslavia under the care of a healer after many other
cures in other countries have proven useless.
He
meets Frances (Pollak) and falls in love. He decides that he refuses to live
behind his mask, he wants to live a normal life, even if it’s only for a few
days. A little snag is that Frances falls in love with the masked man, not with
cute and charming Rick.
It’s an early role for Brad Pitt and it’s clear that he’s going to be a strong actor in years to come. The film itself tries too hard to be sweet and cool and tragic.
