Robert De Niro (in an Oscar -nominated performance) and Robin Williams star in this powerful, true story of a maverick doctor and the patients whose lives he changes. Williams plays Dr. Malcolm Sayer, a shy research physician who uses an experimental drug to "awaken" the catatonic victims of a rare disease. De Niro co-stars as Leonard, the first patient to receive the controversial treatment. His awakening, filled with awe and enthusiasm, proves a rebirth for Sayer too, as the exuberant patient reveals life's simple but unutterably sweet pleasures to the introverted doctor. Encouraged by Leonard's stunning recovery, Sayer administers the drug to the other patients. The story of their friendship during this emotional journey is a testament to both the tenderness of the human heart and the strength of the human soul.</p> iTunes http://video.tvguide.com/ID/956710?rss=object Thu, 08 May 2008 01:28:40 +0000 <p><a href="http://video.tvguide.com/ID/956710?rss=object"><img align="left" border="0" src="http://a1.phobos.apple.com/us/r40/Music/06/3e/b5/mzi.xanrjqok.170x170-75.jpg" width="60" height="45" alt="Awakenings" style="margin:0 5px 5px" /></a>By opening one man's eyes to the world... he opened his own.

Something of a klutz and naif, Dr. Sayer takes a job at a Bronx psychiatric hospital in 1969. Here he's put in charge of several seemingly catatonic patients who, under Sayer's painstaking guidance, begin responding to certain stimulati. Apprised of the efficacy of a new drug called L-DOPA in treating degenerative-disease victims, Sayer is given permission to test the drug on one of his patients: Leonard Lowe (Robert De Niro), who has not communicated with anyone since lapsing into catatonia as a child. Gradually, Lowe comes out of his shell, encouraging Sayers to administer L-DOPA to the other patients under his care. Julie Kavner and John Heard also star. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide.</p> Video Detective http://video.tvguide.com/ID/820404?rss=object Mon, 17 Mar 2008 06:13:54 +0000 <p><a href="http://video.tvguide.com/ID/820404?rss=object"><img align="left" border="0" src="http://videodetective.com/photos/033/001399_3.jpg" width="60" height="45" alt="Awakenings" style="margin:0 5px 5px" /></a>Based on a true story as related by neurologist Oliver Sacks, Awakenings stars Robin Williams as the Sacks counterpart, here named Dr. Malcolm Sayer.
