Crazy In Love (1992)

A documentary film maker (Holly Hunter) loves her husband (Bill Pullman) so much that her constant demands and suspicions are pushing their relationship to the edge. When a photographer (Julian Sands) enters her life, her attraction to him confuses her. Based on the novel by Luanne Rice and directed by Martha Coolidge (RAMBLING ROSE). The film may be easy to relate to (who hasn't had an obsessive streak when it comes to love sometime in their life?) but Hunter's character carries it to such an extreme that it renders her, well ..... crazy! It becomes more than a romantic quirk, it's downright unhealthy. It's a film about three generations of women: Gena Rowlands as her mother, Frances McDormand as her sister, Herta Ware as her grandmother, who live on a private island and whose dominance have had an ill effect on the men in their lives. It's well acted but I'm not sure that its premise worked for me. Still, with a cast like this, it makes for an absorbing watch. With Peter Lohnes and Marjorie Nelson.
