Sex , Lies, and Psychiatry
Gere and Basinger star in Final Analysis
by Victoria Sousa
The Collegian
Suspense, action, sex,
confusion- What more could a
person want in a movie? If
you're looking for a thriller that
has more twists and turns than a
Rubix Cube, Final Analysis, is
for you; now playing on campus
as the Student Programming
Council's movie of the week.
"If you 1 re
and
twists
Analysis is for you. 11
Richard Gere ( Pretty
Woman) plays a San Francisco
psychiatrist treating a disturbed
young woman, played by Uma
Thurman (Dangerous Liaisons).
Thurman, an incest victim,
is plagued by recurring night
mares of a vase of flowers sitting
on a table and going up in flames
(a text book Freudian dream, that
Gere doesn't catch onto until half
way through the movie).

quickly shifts from his patient, to
his patient's sexy, older, married,
sister played by Kim Basinger
(Batman). One major problem in
their relationship, aside from a
question of ethics, is Basinger's
possessive and abusive gangster
husband (Eric Roberts).
Roberts is taken care of soon
enough, when he's murdered by
Basinger and Gere is framed for
it. That's when the criss-cross of
looking for a thriller that
turns than
sub-plots and ideas start to get a
bit ridiculous.
Director Phil Joanou (State
of Grace), tries to create a Film in
the suspense style of the
legendary Alfred Hitchcock
(including a picturesque light
house scene). The problem is, he
goes too far trying to make the
audience guess what's going to
happen next; confusing them
with sub-plot on top of sub-plot
in the end.

As for the casting, it's
difficult to picture Gere as the
world's biggest sucker and
Basinger as the world's biggest
bitch. Once you get past those
two obstacles, the characters
seem somewhat believable.
Final Analysis is a cross
between Basic Instinct and The
Grifters. Somewhere among all
the sex, lies, and psychiatry the
basis of the movie is to figure
has more
Final
out who finally out-cons who.
If you have any desire to see
Final Analysis, see it now for
only $1.50 while it's on campus.
It's a definite conversation piece
on your way out of the theater- if
you stay awake that long.
Final Analysis will play in
Reed 116 tonight and tomorrow
night at 10:30 p.m., Saturday
night at midnight, and Sunday
night at 9:30 p.m.
