Synopsis: Winner of the 1997 Academy Award® for Best Actor in a Supporting Role (James Coburn), and Oscar®-nominated for Best Actor in a Leading Role (Nick Nolte), this emotionally captivating film co-stars Oscar® winner* Sissy Spacek and Willem Dafoe. When events shatter the quiet of his small town, Wade Whitehouse (Nolte), with the aid of his new girlfriend (Spacek), is forced to confront his past and reexamine his life. Determined to fill the emptiness, he must either stand tall against his childhood demons or fall victim to his father’s abusive ways. A wrenching but rewarding film depiction that you’ll never forget, Affliction is “already an American classic” (The Village Voice).
