Intelligent high school student David Clemens (Kier Dullea), who is suffering from an unnamed psychiatric disorder, is taken to State Hospital by his mother (Neva Patterson). Refusing physical contact of any kind, he lashes out at anyone who tries to help him. At the hospital, he meets Lisa (Janet Margolin), a teenage schizophrenic who speaks only in childlike rhymes. Lisa strikes a chord with David, the two form a strong bond, and he exhibits a desire to help her--but when David shows signs of recovery, and his parents come to take him home, Lisa becomes violently jealous. DAVID& LISA, received as altogether original upon its release, is a socially conscious take on the youth/rebellion genre. This acclaimed, early independent feature earned an Oscar for its screenplay. It was remade for television in 1998.
