  Electrifying indie auteur Lodge Kerrigan following up his cult ordeal Clean Shaven explores the desolate existence and paranoid perspective of a women lost in a tangle of high-end prostitution and urban anxiety. Claire Dolan (Katrin Cartlidge Naked Breaking The Waves) an Irish immigrant in Manhattan pays off her debt to a formidable gangster/pimp (Colm Meaney The Snapper Layer Cake) by submitting herself as a call girl to this whims of anonymous businessmen. Craving an ordinary existence and living in cold dread of losing her sense of self Claire attempts to bond with a quietly troubled cab driver (Vincent D'Onofrio Full Metal Jacket Ed Wood) and remake her life. Both a dramatic exploration of exploitation and a psychological portrait of modern womanhood adrift in a world of violation and rootlessness and filmed by Kerrigan with a poet's awareness of detail Claire Dolan stands as one of the 1990's most significant and affecting works of cinema.
