Directed by Abel Ferrara • 1997 • United States
Starring Matthew Modine, Claudia Schiffer, Dennis Hopper
Abel Ferrara’s terrifying, hallucinatory exploration of addiction, memory, and cinematic voyeurism is one of his most daringly abstract works, a relentlessly dark, surreal vision of psychic disintegration. Matthew Modine stars as Matty, a successful Hollywood actor whose hedonistic, drug-fueled lifestyle culminates in a blacked-out confrontation with his girlfriend Annie (Béatrice Dalle). Eighteen months later, he’s sober and in a new relationship with Susan (Claudia Schiffer)—but he’s still haunted by disturbing questions about what happened on the night he can’t remember.
