MPAA Rating: R
Director: Mary Lambert
Genres: Mystery
Rating:

Sky diver Clare (Ellen_Barkin) wakes up disheveled and almost naked in Spain. She has left her husband Del (Martin_Sheen) in Death Valley in order to find her former lover Augustine (Gabriel_Byrne). She may have committed a murder, or it may all be fantasy. This film, directed by Mary_Lambert is odd, confusing and sometimes downright laughable, full of preposterous plot twists and ridiculous symbolism. The plot makes little sense, and Lambert, while showing great visual style, has little concern for character or plot. It is never clear whether the mysterious visions that Claire experiences are memories or simply plot devices, and Clare's continued pursuit by a taxi driver with rusty teeth who keeps trying to rape her is ludicrous. Good performances by Barkin and Byrne, and a nice musical score by Miles_Davis do nothing to save this pretentious, silly film. Linda Rasmussen, Rovi
