Produced by his mentor Robert Altman, this is a slightly off-kilter story about a woman who comes out of prison and starts stalking his ex and his girlfriend. They are Geraldine Chaplin, Anthony Perkins and Berry Berenson. Chaplin has acquired certain prison ticks like the disgusting way she has of putting out cigarettes, acts in some quite bizarre ways e.g. breaking into their house without them realising, running her car into theirs. She also has an unusual relationship with building supervisor Moses Gunn and has to endure some strange behaviour in the supermarket where Jeff Goldblum has given her a job, from Alfre Woodard and others.
The ending is strange - she sort of metaphorically locks him up but as the final shot shows, he can easily get out of the window and down the fire escape.
Photographed by Tak Fukimoto. Soundtrack also interesting in its choice of Blues numbers.
The sound design is interesting e.g. use of prison doors displaced over other action.
Do not add me to the Alan Rudolph mailing list, however.
