Summary:
"With a 'cool eroticism, intelligence and intensity' (Playboy), this eerie futuristic thriller, based on Margaret Atwood'
s
controversial and critically acclaimed best-selling novel, is filled with 'large themes and deep thoughts' (Roger Ebert). Boasting a phenomenal cast including Natasha Richardson (Nell) and Oscar® winners Faye Dunaway (Network) and Robert Duvall (Tender Mercies), this film 'dazzles with its ingenuity and shocks with its outrageousness' (WNCN Radio)!

s
sterile, she's faced with the impossible choice: produce him an heir or die!"--Container.
