Indeed. I first saw it as a teenager in the early-'90s, when it was shown a number of times after midnight on CBC, and I was transfixed from the opening scene, when Quentin bids farewell to his mother and boards the train, a heartbreaking scene set to Schubert's achingly poignant "Moments Musicaux, No. 2". That quickly became one of my most-loved pieces of music. I included it in the slide show for my dad's funeral.
As for Sutherland himself, my fav film of his is probably Roeg's stylish, chilling riddle
Don't Look Now, or
Ordinary People.
Murder by Decree,
Invasion of the Body Snatchers, Chabrol's lesser-known
Blood Relatives, and
Johnny Got His Gun are also worth mentioning.
