Synopsis of Blackeyes

In this intricately layered, dark story, a woman whose guardian sexually abused her tells her story. It seems that her guardian also used her life as the basis for a series of stories about a woman known as Blackeyes. The real-life woman and the fictional woman each tell their stories, while attempting to cope with their lives in the present. Eventually, both commit suicide, but not before the real-life woman has taken revenge on the man who warped (and stole) her life. This story was brought to the screen by the prolific (and ailing) director Dennis Potter who was responsible for such stunning works as The Singing Detective. There is no evidence that Blackeyes has ever received a U.S. screening. ~ Clarke Fountain, All Movie Guide
