Hi, I first watched this movie 15 years ago, I don’t remember any of the cast or directors etc so all I have to go on is the plot. I have many friends who say they are film buffs but no one can recall it. I would class it as an arthouse movie and a bit dark. I am sure it is set around the 1920/30 or 40’s I say this as I remember that her long hair holds a certain status with wealth/class and it is an American movie. At the start it shows the couple on a boat and you can see that she is very bored of her well to do husband and his ideals so much so that she is willing to take her life. You don’t actually see if she does do it but next you see her being rescued by a man who turns out to be a gangster nightclub owner. I think he had a wife who may have died so he cuts this lady’s hair off to a bob to mirror what his wife use to look like and then makes her dance with strangers but he becomes obsessed with her. She does try to escape but you can see that a part of her actually enjoys this life. She does escape at one point and finds her husband to is embarrassed of her as her hair is short and forces her to wear a wig, the gangster has a brother who is gay but cannot come to terms with his sexuality. The majority of the movie is based in the nightclub and is dimly lit. There is a rape scene as I remember with the brother and the end of the movie is a shootout between the husband and the gangster on the stage in his nightclub.
Hope that my explanation of this movie rings a bell for someone, I would love to watch the movie again. Many thanks, Lisa.
