Isabelle

making a living writing pornography. She meets Thomas, a sweet, confused amnesiac
who cannot remember that he used to be a vicious pornographer, responsible for
turning his young wife, Sofia, into the world's most notorious porn queen. Sofia's
on the run, convinced she's killed him. Together, Isabelle and Thomas set out
to discover his past, a past waiting to catch up with him. by L.H.
Wong from IMDB.
NOTE
Very quirk story. remind me a lot of Jean-Luc Godard's
films that Isabelle ever worked with: Everyone for himself and Passion, and film
like First name: Camen
After seeing
Hal's "Trust me", Isabelle faxed him a letter seeking future collaboration.
The fax was burried in the files on Haltley's table for about a month, and was
found out by accident. Hal thus had to tell his assistants who Isabelle is. He
brought the script soon after on his trip to Paris.... - FORUM

TRIVIA
It's
said that Isabelle was not satisfied, actually irritated, when she first saw the
final film, because the film was so much different from the original script, and
she was not told any of those changes. But she admited that she felt much better
about the film when she saw it second time. The
film was shot in July, 1993 in New York City.
