88 Films gets stranded with CASTAWAY (review)

Gerald, a middle-aged man puts an ad in the lonely hearts column looking for a "wife" to spend a year with him on a desert island.  When twenty-something Lucy responds to the ad, they begin a desert island odyssey of clashing wills, tempestuous lust, and a fight for survival against nature itself in this eighties Nicolas Roeg film starring Oliver Reed and Amanda Donohoe.
