Boxing Helena

BOXING HELENA is the provocative, controversial story about a timid doctor's obsession with a beautiful but unattainable woman and the grotesque lengths to which he goes in order to bring her into his life. Kim Basinger was originally slated to play the title role, which eventually went to Sherilyn Fenn (TWIN PEAKS's Audrey Horne). This is the directorial debut from Jennifer Chambers Lynch, daughter of David Lynch and author of the bestselling TWIN PEAKS tie-in book THE DIARY OF LAURA PALMER.

Fantasy, desire and manipulation make for a savory-yet-volatil e cocktail in this psychological thriller about a woman held captive by a man who loves her. First-time writer-director Jennifer ChambersLynch (The Diary of Laura Palmer) brings "stylistic flair" (The Washington Post) to this haunting, erotic tale of love and lust that straddles the fine line between devotion and obsession. Nick Cavanaugh (Julian Sands, Timecode) is a brilliant surgeon who seems to haveit allmoney, looks, prestigebut all he wants is someone he can't have a voluptuous, cold-hearted seductress: Helena (Sherilyn Fenn, Three of Hearts). After Nick fails to impress her withhis wealth, Helena is struck down by a hit-and-run driver outside his mansion. The good doctor saves her life by amputating her legs, then seizes the opportunity of her immobility to hold her prisoner. Now, he's in control of Helena's body, but not her mind, for this shrewd, quick-thinking vixen ishellbent on keeping Nick on his toes in order to foil his selfish plan to have her not only as a trophy wife but his personal Venus de Milo.
