Reseña destacada
US television drama based on a true crime case starring Lara Flynn Boyle and William Baldwin
This television film, directed by John Herzfeld, first aired on ABC in September 1989. It is based on the actual murder of young Jennifer Levin on August 26, 1986 in New York's Central Park, which was known at the time and even after the television film was broadcast as "The Preppie Murder" (based on a preparatory school as preparation for university studies). Attended by both the victim and the perpetrator) attracted great media attention.
Jennifer (Lara Flynn Boyle), a young girl from a good New York family, meets the extremely attractive Robert Chambers (William Baldwin) in a hip bar in Manhattan, falls in love with the great Hech and spends the night with him. The next day, Robert doesn't want to know anything about her anymore. A loud argument breaks out. At dawn the next day, Jennifer's body is found in Central Park, with significant injuries. Robert quickly becomes a target of the police and finally admits to being involved in Jennifer's killing. But here's the thing: He claims that he accidentally killed Jennifer as a result of violent sexual practices ("rough sex") in which he himself was in danger of becoming Jennifer's victim. What is starting now is a media tornado without equal. This story, with its very young and beautiful participants, is a real hit for the New York newspapers. In court, a sleazy lawyer named Jack Litman (as always convincing: Knots Landing star William Devane) ensures that Jennifer Levin's sex life is exploited and that the murder victim supposedly becomes the perpetrator.
This story actually happened and didn't end with the process depicted in the film. The first part of the film is definitely convincing. William Baldwin and Lara Flynn Boyle fit their roles perfectly as spoiled brats who seem to have everything thrown at them. William Baldwin is particularly impressive as a dazzling-looking but somehow disturbingly crazy little boy. In the second part of the film, the court hearing, everything no longer fits together. On the one hand, the aim is to criticize the way the judiciary and the media have dealt with this bizarre case, but on the other hand, there is a lot of speculation regarding Jennifer Levin's alleged preference for certain sexual practices.
A very strange television film that quite and rightly paid off for the future careers of its main actors. The talented Lara Flynn Boyle was part of David Lynch's television series "Twin Peaks" a year later, and the enviably well-built William Baldwin made it in "Sliver" (1993) even becomes Sharon Stone's super sexy lover (and that's also fully justified). It should also be mentioned that the great music comes from Chris Isaak, who would become world famous a year later with "The Wicked Game" for "Wild At Heart" by David Lynch. The later ACADEMY AWARD winner Sandra Bullock can also be seen in a small role.
With a few caveats, it's definitely worth seeing!
