A 'Lynchian, Freudian, Jungian lesbian puzzler'. I wrote a song about this film titled exactly that but took it down from YouTube for fear of a copyright strike as I used images from the film in my video. What a dumb-ass! Ah well, if you heard it (all 25 of you) and ed it, you have a rarity.

I watched her speak briefly about her ordeal in interviews recorded around the time of the release of The Accused.
