Freely adapted from Potter's BBC TV play Schmoedipus, this unsettling film stars Theresa Russell (Bad Timing, Black Widow) as an unhappy, possibly unstable, housewife who welcomes a young man (Gary Oldman - Prick Up Your Ears, Darkest Hour) into her home when he claims to be her long-lost son. Ambitious, ambiguous and surreal, Track 29 is a kinky psychological send-up of American mores - a view from the dis-united states of consciousness. The glorious supporting cast includes Christopher Lloyd (Back to the Future), Sandra Bernhard (The King of Comedy) and Colleen Camp (The Swinging Cheerleaders).
