"Puzzle of a Downfall Child"

(1970)

Director: Jerry Schatzberg

Director of Photography: Adam Holender

Early '70s low-key character piece with a stunning Faye Dunaway in a tour-de-force performance as a model spiraling out of control in a shallow world controlled by men who want a piece of her. Told in a fragmented flashback narrative that echoes her mind state, the film was directed by Jerry Schatzberg (who also directed "Scarecrow" - one of our favorites - stay tuned). An interesting film definitely worth the watch. Bought at Videomatica.
