Puzzle of a Downfall Child

With both life and career in shambles, dissolute fashion model Lou Andreas Sand (Faye Dunaway) retreated to the seclusion of her seaside cottage. Approached by Aaron Reinhardt (Barry Primus), the photographer who aided her rise, about collaborating on a biographical film project, she spills a disjointed confessional about her excesses and heartbreaks. Long-sought character study, Jerry Schatzberg's writing/directing bow, co-stars Roy Scheider, Viveca Lindfors, Barry Morse, Barbara Carrera. 105 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English.
