“Boxing Helena”
“Boxing Helena”
Boxing Helena is an American film shut in 1993. It’s about the very strong feelings of one man to a woman, about a romance bordering on madness.
The director of the film is Jennifer Chambers Lynch, the daughter of a genius famous and also one of my favourite film directors David Lynch.
The action of the film takes place nowadays. In the opening scenes we are involved in a typical working day in one clinic. Our “hero” is a surgeon, and he is on top of his career. His name is Nick. In the beginning there are many scenes, showing a human’s inner world. It is the director’s psychological method so as to represent the audience the main character’s thoughts and feelings.
The plot’s main idea is that Nick falls in love with a very beautiful girl, whose name is Helena.
Once they meet at one party and Nick looses his mind. He starts finding new reasons for the further meetings, but Helena offends him and rejects all his trials. He rings up her all the time, but she hangs up the phone when she recognizes his voice. But he can’t stop himself and even begins following her everywhere she goes.
Seeing all this, his friends ask him not to spy for her. Besides they realize that though Helena is absolutely seductive and gorgeous like a Goddess , she is not much smart or maybe she doesn’t have a good education. But Nick doesn’t care about it. He is absolutely obsessed with her. Her vertigo grandeur sparkles brighter than the sun and all the stars in the sky for him.
She dazzles him completely.
In despondency Nick organizes another big party with many people and invited musicians in his house, hoping to see Helena again. And she comes.
Helena just comes across as a mouse in a cage.
Nick closes Helena at his house as a captive, using his medical knowledge…
He wants to possess her completely.
This horrific twist gives the movie it’s name.
Sherilyn Fenn as Helena, also stars in David Lynch’s Twin Peaks as Audrey Horne. She is the best actress for these roles.
And Julian Sands as Nick, also stars in such king of mystic dramas.
Jennifer Lynch masterly managed to embody the slogan: “A deep, dark obsession that bares a woman’s body and a man’s soul”.
