Sam Shepard and Kim Basinger "ignite a sexual bonfire whose embers will haunt you" (People) in this explosive tale of doomed love and loss in the barren, unforgiving West. Based on Shepard's own award-winning play and directed by seven-time OscarÂ(r) nominee* Robert Altman, Fool for Love is "a stunning collaboration" (Newsweek). Cowboy drifter Eddie (Shepard)reconnects with May (Basinger), the love of his life, in a seedy desert moteleven though she's taken up with a new boyfriend (Randy Quaid). But that's not the only threat to their rekindled passion. A mysterious old man (Harry Dean Stanton) also harbors a secret so dark and forbidden, it could destroy Eddie and May's love forever. *Best Picture (with Bob Balaban, David Levy), Director, Gosford Park (2001); Director, Short Cuts (1993); Director, The Player (1992); Best Picture, Director, Nashville (1975); Director, M*A*S*H (1970)
