A shutterbug is haunted by psychic visions of the killer who is murdering all of her friends in this hit thriller. Intense and driven, successful photographer Laura Mars (Faye Dunaway) has made a name for herself by juxtaposing sex and violence in her glamorous photos. But at the height of her success -- and just as a media backlash is brewing -- she begins to experience daydreams from the point of view of a serial killer as he relentlessly stalks and murders her associates. Her unbalanced ex-husband (Raul Julia) seems like an obvious suspect, especially when his new girlfriend is murdered and he goes on the lam. But Laura is shocked by the prospect that the killer could be somebody out to discredit her work, which she views as an artistic commentary on the degradation of the modern world. Under the protection of police detective John Neville (Tommy Lee Jones), Laura is unable to save even one of her friends from a violent end. Soon, she finds herself inside the mind of the killer as he marches down a familiar hallway: the one outside her own door. Co-written by Halloween director John Carpenter, Eyes of Laura Mars also features character actors Brad Dourif and René Auberjonois. ~ Brian J. Dillard, All Movie Guide

| ... he'd be Laura Mars in this movie! Helmut Newton's photographs often depicted glamorous models in yielding and submissive poses, but despite their bondaged state, they never lost their cool, look-but-don't-touch arrogance. Eyes of Laura Mars epitomizes this feeling, though the storyline is hokey by today's standards. Faye Dunaway is a NYC Helmut Newton-esque fashion photographer (his photographs are featured in the film) whose lurid visions of people getting icepicked in the eyes come true. Tommy Lee Jones plays the detective investigating the murders who (shocker!) falls in love with her, and has never been more handsome or tweedy than in this movie. There are great cameo appearances by Raul Julia as the drunken ex-husband, Rene Auberjunois as the flamboyant manager, and Brad Dourif as a sketchy chauffeur. Great scenes of autumn in NY in the 70s-- the sun breaking through Laura Mars' Hudson River loft, the Columbus Circle fashion shoot, SoHo. |
