LA FEMME PUBLIQUE
1984: France
AKA: The Public Woman
"An aspiring young actress (22 Year Old Valerie Kaprisky) accepts a leading role in a film version of Dostoyevsky's The Possessed. Dissatisfied by her performance, the eccentric filmmaker (Francis Huster) begins a rigorous course of indoctrination, sexual domination, and acting lessons that leaves the mentally-exhausted girl unable to distinguish between the real world and that of the film."
Released in French Canada by 4Star Home Video Distributor
Director: Andrzej Zulawski
Starring: Valerie Kaprisky, Francis Huster, Lambert Wilson
Erotic Andrzej Zulawski Classic ......Rated R
Arty, challenging and some say over-the-top film was honored by Special Jury Award at the Montreal World Film Festival in 1984. .... Valerie Kaprisky who was then 22 years old, appears gorgeous and dramatic at the same time.
An unexperienced young actress is invited to play a role in a film based on Dostoyevsky's 'The Possessed'. The film director, a Czech immigrant in Paris, takes over her life, and in a short time she is unable to draw the line between acting and reality. She winds up playing a real-life role posing as the dead wife of another Czech immigrant, who is manipulated by the filmmaker into commiting a political assasination.
