Based on the true story murder of Roseann Quinn.
Diane Keaton plays the lead role of a school teacher who deals with deaf children. After an affair with a married man comes to end, she goes out at night cruising the bars and having one night stands with strangers.
When she starts to get in to the drug scene, her role at the school suffers as she oversleeps. Frightened of what might happen to her and her career if the police raided her flat, she flushes the last of the drugs down the toilet and goes out around the bars one last time. She meets a guy and takes him back to her flat...
Diane Keaton is great in this movie. Scenes of the bars with disco music, the nightlife with the sex cinemas all add to the atmosphere.
A powerful and disturbing movie, overlong but well worth the watch.
