SINGLE WHITE FEMALE
(Barbet Schroeder, 1992)
Release date: 22 July 2024
Limited Edition Blu-ray (UK premiere)


Pre-order here

Bridget Fonda (Jackie Brown, A Simple Plan) and Jennifer Jason Leigh (The Hitcher, The Hateful Eight) star in Barbet Schroeder’s (Reversal of Fortune, Mad Men) erotic psychological thriller Single White Female.

When Allie (Fonda) breaks off her engagement, she is delighted to find a supportive new roommate in Hedy (Leigh). But when Hedy's behaviour becomes increasingly obsessive, and a series of violent events begin to occur, Allie fears that Hedy is not all she claims to be.

Beautifully photographed by Luciano Tovoli (The Passenger, Suspiria), and with a powerful score by Howard Shore (The Silence of the Lambs, Videodrome), Single White Female is one of the most stylish suspense thrillers of the nineties.

I love this movie, but almost all of these extras were on Shout Factory's Blu-ray, so this is unfortunately a pass

It's OK, I'll pick up domino's slack on this one as I had not picked this up before now, and mainly want to do so because its one of the trifecta of erotically charged thrillers from that time that featured the music of Enigma on its soundtrack! (The big one being Sliver of course, which has songs written especially for the film, but as with Single White Female, Boxing Helena also used Sadeness Part 1)
