Film of Paul Bowles Short Story Rediscovered
By RANDY KENNEDY
This is an interesting article about You Are Not I, a film directed by Sara Driver in the 1980s. The film is inspired by a short story written by Paul Bowles. According to the article the film is about a woman who escapes an insane asylum. In an effort to protect herself from being sued, she sent a copy of the film to Bowles, who was living in Turkey at the time. Much to her surprise, Bowles showed great praise for the film. She eventually released the film and it received a great cult following. Unfortunately the one print she owned eventually got damaged. For sometime she thought that the film was gone for good, but a film librarian at the University of Delaware recovered the copy she sent to Bowles. The fact that this film has the allure of uncovered treasure certainly intrigues me. This definitely makes this a flick worthy of watching.
