Accidental Love
The genesis of this comedy has been a difficult one. Director David O. Russell (I Heart Huckabees) disowned the project shortly after filming was completed, due to ongoing production delays following financial difficulties. This might explain the film’s poor performance stateside. The film follows Alice (Jennifer Beals), a small-town waitress who is accidentally shot in the head by a nail gun. Her lack of health insurance renders her unable to have the nail removed, leading to increased mood swings and hypersexual behavior as a result of brain damage. Alice then heads to Washington, DC to campaign for those with bizarre injuries, with the support of an unprincipled Congressman. No official website, but Wikipedia some has more details. Showing at key cities only.
