liers Lynch
Being liom a daughter to David Lynch must have
Been confusing enough, not to mention spending
half of your life on the set of movies such as Blur
Velvet. But to want to direct movies and have to
follow in the bizarre footsteps of a father like Lynch
could prove to l>e almost impossible.
Not so for the woman who wrote I hr Dianes of
Ijcniro Palmer. Boxing Helena is the oddest lov e sto
ry. but seen through the eves of Lynch it is almost
fathomable.
The story, which was penned by Lyn< h. is the
story of plastic surgeon Nick Cavounnugh (Julian
Sands), who Ixs omes obsessed by the enchanting
ly beautiful, but extremely coni cited, Helena (Slier
ilyn Penn).
Nick becomes consumed with the desire to pos
sess and take care of Helena. She, however, wants
nothing to do with him It is painful to watch the
lengths Nick gives to so he can see her and Imi near
her It is nightmarish to watch her rebuff him over
and over.
Nick's "love'' for Helena mokes a mockery of the
whole idea of co-dependant, v From early child
hood Nick is ignored and emotionally abused by
his mother In Helena lie finds the same endearing
qualities; she tells him he is "worthless." "a fail
ure." "pathetic" and awful in lied. For some strange
reason these insults make Nick want her more.
Nick is finally given the chance to love/own Hele
na She is injured in an at t ident and Nick takes her
to his home to care for her Helena has no way of
getting avvav from him because she is incapacitat
ed Though her t npabilities are limited physically,
emotionally she is still strong anti still wants noth
ing to do with Nick. Nick fixes this predit ament by
i.mating a condition in which she needs him to live
Thus, the fairy tale ends anti the nightmare
begins.
Julian Sands does a superb job playing the naive
and nertiv doctor, only he is much too sexy to lit
as desperate as the doctor is Sheriivn Fenn also
gives tlu- audient.e her liest performance.
Neither would have been able to give these per
formances if not for the perverted, but artful, screen
play by Lynch.
