Jean-Jacques Beineix's
Betty Blue stars
Béatrice Dalle as the title character, a mentally unbalanced and sexually aggressive free spirit who becomes involved with Zorg (
Jean-Hugues Anglade),
a repairman moonlighting as a writer. The two engage in a variety of
sexual encounters, and grow more passionate toward each other. Betty
finds Zorg's book and is aggressively supportive; over time, her mental
and emotional instability begin to catch up with her and drive her to
the point of romantic obsession with Zorg -- leading to a grisly and
shocking conclusion.
