Downloading Nancy
It’s my prediction that Downloading Nancy will be one of the most powerful films of 2009 as as Nancy (Amy Brenneman) discovers that masochistic desire blurs the line between pleasure and pain.
The illustrious Inez Lewis played a photographic role in this movie.
When Albert Stockwell comes home from work one day he finds a note from his wife of 15 years, Nancy, saying she has gone to see friends. It is a lie.
After waiting several days, Albert realizes that his wife is missing. Nancy has met her salvation on the Internet in the form of Louis Farley. Louis’s life, like Nancy’s, has become a twisted quest for redemption via smutty chat rooms and alternative websites. Both wounded and alone, Nancy and Louis take comfort in one another through email, pictures and promises.
With Louis, Nancy goes to a different place, one of liberation and fulfillment. It’s a location where pain is pleasure and where the end is the beginning. While she pursues the freedom that she feels will only come with ultimate liberation, Albert is left to put the pieces together and try to salvage what is left.
