ABSTRACT
The myth of the designer as a lone visionary does not quite match up to that of the film director. As the cinema lights go down, we sit in expectation waiting to enter the film-maker’s own imagination. Many cinema-goers entered the nail-biting world created by Adrian Lyne when Fatal Attraction became a box office hit in 1987. In Lyne’s climactic scene, a knife-wielding Glenn Close came to a prolonged gory end at the hands of Michael Douglas. Adrian Lyne clearly has a vivid and vengeful imagination, or perhaps not.
