	Boxing Helena - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Boxing Helena is the 1993 debut feature film by Jennifer Lynch, daughter of David Lynch.
		After she is injured in a grievous hit-and-run motor vehicle accident in front of his home, he kidnaps and treats her in his house surreptitiously, which includes medically amputating both of her legs.
		Even though Helena is the victim of Nick's kidnapping and mutilation, she dominates the dialogue with her constant emasculating ridicule of him for all of his shortcomings.

	(Un) Boxing Helena: A preliminary feminist and psychoanalytic analysis (Jeffrey Compton, M.A.)
		Each is ill in a way: Helena is neurotic in her pursuit of the cult of beauty whereby she is fulfilled as a woman while Nick is psychotic in his desire to sexually satisfy her and gain self-worth as a man, to the extent that he will go to do so.
		Helena herself is captivated by beauty, such as in the scene where she stands transfixed momentarily in front of the statue of the Venus de Milo.
		However in Boxing Helena this is not the case for the female spectator (all spectators for that matter) for when we go below the surface of the image we see that the visual and narrative discourse is in fact intended primarily for her, the female spectator.

	Boxing Helena
		Helena thoughtfully observes that the caller is "fucking rude." If she gets this riled from a phone call during sex, I guess her partner isn't very good at holding her attention.
		Helena is beautiful, but she is such a bitch it's impossible to tell what he sees in her.
		That Helena actually comes to live with her predicament seems to suggest that a woman may not mind being wholly dependent on a man, and worse, might enjoy being an object of art, even if it means severe mutilation.

	DVD Verdict Review - Boxing Helena
		Helena never actually gets put in a box, although her captor does prop her up in a sort of three-sided shrine for a while (which serves the obvious purpose of hiding the actress's arms and legs).
		Helena tries to embarrass Nick by taking off her dress and frolicking in the fountain in her lacy undergarments, after which she leaves to do naughty things with another party guest.
		Boxing Helena is hereby pronounced guilty of abysmal putridity and sentenced to be drawn, quartered, suffocated, electrocuted, poisoned, run over by a big red truck, and hung by the neck until dead.

		Boxing Helena is one of those films that became somewhat of a cult classic DVD more for its theme than its actors or overall dialogue and script.

	‘Boxing Helena’ (R)
		A two-hour stink bomb, "Boxing Helena" is a pitifully pervy piece of work that would have marred even your less-than-brilliant career.
		As petulantly played by Sherilyn Fenn, Helena is such a malignant shrew that audience members were urging the disarming doctor to leave the limbs and cut off her head.
		And so limbless Helena ends up in her box, more like a squatty throne on Nick's dining room table, where she's plopped as sort of a gutter-mouthed centerpiece.

	All-Reviews.com Movie/Video Review: Boxing Helena
		During one of such occasions, Helena is hit by a car, and Nick quickly takes the role of her personal physician in order to have his way with her.
		After she wakes up, Helena discovers not only that she is prisoner in Cavanaugh's stylish residence, but also that Cavanaugh amputated her legs in order to prevent her from escaping.
		All in all, BOXING HELENA is disorganised quasi-artistic mess of a movie that should be remembered as nothing more than one of the wiser decisions in Kim Basinger's career.

	DVD Authority \| DVD Review of "Boxing Helena" (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-15)
		Helena is a gorgeous woman to be sure, but she is also cold and very powerful, which means she is not easily attained and Nick knows his chance was lost long ago.
		In Boxing Helena, Fenn is able to use her good looks of course, but she also gets to flex her performance muscles and does so very well, at least I think so.
		Boxing Helena is presented in a 1.85:1 anamorphic widescreen transfer.

		When the hobbled Helena tries to leave, he makes her his prisoner, eventually removing her arms to prevent her escape.

	Boxing Helena Film Review - Time Out Film
		Fenn is the free-spirited Helena, unfortunate object of surgeon Sands' sexual obsession.
		His courtship only invites scorn - but, when Helena is hit by a car outside his family mansion, the doc sees a chance to cut her down to size.
		Lynch in her first stab at directing tries for the fl-comic, blue velvet knife-edge between surrealism and perversity, but the results - neither graphic, nor gruesome - are simply incongruous.

	Lynch genius doesn't transfer to 'Boxing Helena'
		As played by Sherilyn Fenn, Helena is the neighborhood temptress -- rubbing ice cubes over her body in front of well-lit windows and stripping down during crowded parties to take a dip in Cavanaugh's fountain.
		When Cavanaugh is spurned by Helena, he manages to lure her to his mansion, where through a fairly lame plot twist, he is able to subdue her by amputating her legs.
		Boxing Helena is a film so bad that your mind tends to wander while viewing it.

		When Helena is in a tragic accident in front of Nick's mansion, he takes her into his tome, imprisons her and transforms her into his own version of the mythic Venus.
		Sands is made to play his single-minded romantic as a spineless, groveling wimp, while Helena is a one-note ice queen for more than half the movie, never reacting realistically to her predicament.
		It was probably worth every costly cent for Kim Basinger to get out of doing the dreadful Boxing Helena -- but you have to wonder whatever there was about it that persuaded her to do it in the first place.

		I was embarrassed for the characters at points (did Helena really need to jump in the fountain at the party?), and that made the film a bit difficult to watch.

		"Boxing Helena" is the controversial picture that Kim Basinger decided she didn't want to make, which led to a court battle and an eventual $9 million fine.
		After watching the film, however, her decision to back out of the project is understandable.
		To put her in her place, Sands keeps the torso in an open box in his living room, a box that appears to be more of a puppet theater - and dressed in lace like a broken doll, Fenn is, in a way, Sands' puppet.

	Boxing Helena (1993)
		Plot: Surgeon Nick Cavanaugh is obsessed with the beautiful but bitchy Helena, although she persistently rejects his advances.
		The most Lynch manages is a couple of shocks upon the revelation of each of Helena's progressive stages of limblessness - but all one sees of that is Fenn without her arms in her sleeves or legs beneath her night-gown.
		Lynch pere would have undoubtedly jumped in with scenes of Fenn trying to escape by crawling on her limbless stumps or of Julian Sands making love to her amputated body, but Jennifer has a very, very different film than that in mind.
