'80s Roulette: BORN OF FIRE
Sometimes, a movie defies description, like this one about a flautist, an astronomer, a Master Magician, and mystical visions.
I have (almost) every single movie released in theaters in the ‘80s in the United States on a hard drive, and once a week, I’m going to hit shuffle and review whatever film comes up first.
Welcome to ‘80s Roulette!

A flute player and an astronomer are brought together by mysterious dreams that lead them into conflict with a fallen djinn. Maybe? I think?
I am confounded by this whole thing.
