So he throws her in the ocean and goes, "There, you're fucked!" - Some asshole. Boxing Helena is the directorial debut of David Lynch's daughter, Jennifer (whose new film, Surveillance, I'm reviewing next). There was a lot of controversy surrounding the film before its release, because Kim Basinger dropped out of the lead so the producers sued her. I guess the dumb blonde actually thought they were going to cut off her arms and legs and shove her in a box. That's all I was hoping for and expecting out of this movie, a girl getting her arms and legs cut off and being stuck in a box. But in my fucked up imagination, I imagined something far more extreme than what you'll find in this film. Julian Sands (who I'll always remember as the awesome title character in Warlock) plays a rich doctor who falls in love with and starts stalking this beautiful woman he once had an affair with. She's too busy now fucking a FULL-FRONTAL Bill Paxton, so he lures her to his home under false pretenses. When she runs away, she is hit by a car which crushes her legs. So basically, being a renowned surgeon, he cuts them off and keeps her in his house captive. She is such a fucking cock-teasing bitch I couldn't wait for him to cut off her arms. When she starts throwing shit at him and slapping him I was like CUT OFF THE FUCKING CUNTS ARMS ALREADY! You really feel no sympathy for her. Later her arms are missing (as is the scene where that happens), and she eventually starts developing STOCKHOLM'S SYNDROME and falls for the guy. Pretty good directorial debut from Jennifer Lynch, too bad it took her 15 years to come out with another movie.

very sick movie but liked it a lot, not for individuals "living in a box" though

Dont be fooled! This film is not about fist o' cuff's.

(read more) The movie that Kim Basinger infamously was sued for breach of contract after pulling out of, to be replaced by Sherilyn Fenn, this was the directorial debut of David Lynch's daughter Jennifer, who wrote the script, about a creepy doctor (Julian Sands) obsessed with a cold-hearted femme fatale (the Helena of the title). Sands's antics go from whining at Helena to go out with him at parties to spying on her and one of her boyfriends (Bill Paxton in a mesh shirt!), and then escalate to keeping her trapped in his house and 'nursing her back to health' a la 'Whatever Happened to Baby Jane' in a relationship that just spirals into the ground, of one repulsive personality doing terrible things to another repulsive personality. A final twist makes the body of the film feel like a sick joke on the viewer. It was probably worth it, Mz. Basinger.

Abysmal erotic -"thriller" camp object...

You look beautiful today and the flowers are fresh.

I won't say that the acting and the realization of the screenplay, or the screenplay itself was the best, but the idea alone was enough provoking. To me, it was the same horror level as Audition (Takashi Miike). It makes me wonder, whether love, to some degree, is just an obsession and desire for possession. And with a sick and repressed mind, imagine what it can turn into. It's deeply haunting. The ending was so unexpected and somewhat relieving actually.
