Directed by Robert Altman
Produced by Factor-Altman-Mirell Films, Commonwealth United Entertainment
A claustrophobic psychological thriller about obsession and isolation, where a lonely woman's attempt at connection curdles into possession and control.
Frances Austen, a young, wealthy spinster, invites a mute teenager into her apartment after finding him freezing in the park next to where she lives. Despite her best efforts, their lack of communication only increases her sense of loneliness, as her possessiveness spirals into frightening new realms.
