Puzzle of a Downfall Child
Drama105 min
A former fashion model retreats from her public life and tries to piece together how it came apart. Speaking with a filmmaker who wants to capture her story, she moves through fragments of memory: photo shoots, affairs, childhood wounds, and the strain of being turned into an image for other people to use. What emerges is not a clean rise-and-fall biography but a mind circling the moments that damaged her and the relationships that kept shifting around her. As her recollections jump between glamour and collapse, the film stays close to her unsettled sense of self, with Faye Dunaway at the center of a woman trying to understand her own breakdown.
