- SynopsisThriller containing several inter-related narrative strands: a mysterious woman escapes from what appears to be an assassination attempt with only a head wound and amnesia. She winds up creeping into an empty apartment. A woman, Betty, arrives in LA from Canada looking for work and goes to stay at her aunt's place - the very same apartment in which the woman with amnesia, now calling herself Rita, is hiding. A successful young Director is pressured by his investors into casting a woman named Camilla Rhodes in his next film. (Synopsis)
- Work historyMade as a TV pilot but expanded for release in cinemas. Originally planned as a two-hour television pilot made by ABC Enterprises, Imagine Television and Touchstone Television, filming began in February 1998. David Lynch delivered a 125 minute cut however ABC insisted on an 88 minute version. ABC subsequently choses not to commission the series and not to transmit the pilot. After completion of "The Straight Story", StudioCanal agrees to buy the film for theatrical release - paying $7 million plus further monies to Imagine. New material ('pick-ups') is filmed over 17 days in September 2000 and after completion of editing, a new score by Angelo Badalamenti is commissioned. The film was shown at Cannes 2001.
