Remember My Name

“Everyone knows a woman is fragile and helpless. Everybody's wrong.”

Emily (Geraldine Chaplin) steps out of prison and into a town where she says she means to start over, but she starts watching a married construction worker, Neil Curry (Anthony Perkins), and nobody can say why. Alan Rudolph lets her presence press into the Currys' home, his wife Barbara (Berry Berenson) the first to feel it. What the film circles is how a past nobody explains can follow a person and take over an ordinary life.
