Historia
Dr. 'Joe' Carter (Hutton) is obsessed with Helena Christiansen (Kidman), a woman who once rejected his advances. After she suffers severe injuries in a car accident, Joe takes her to his home and nurses her back to health. However, he refuses to let her leave, hoping to convince her that they are meant for each other. When Helena's friend Erik (Mulroney) starts investigating her disappearance, Joe becomes increasingly paranoid and controlling.
Resumen
Boxing Helena is a controversial psychological thriller directed by Jennifer Lynch, daughter of film legend David Lynch. The film explores themes of obsession, captivity, and unrequited love through the story of Joe Carter, a surgeon who kidnaps the woman he loves after she's severely injured in an accident. While critics were divided over the film's graphic content and Kidman's performance, it remains notable for its unique perspective on obsessive relationships.
