    roommate (Andy, M., 1991). Is it an excuse which comes up in Laura’s mind to tell her not to fall in love with Alec? However, a core problem is worth thinking: why is the story being questioned? It is rare that the whole film is combined with a voice-over, as Sue Aspinall points out, ‘it was unusual… to make that narrative the story of her sexual feelings’ (in Murphy, R., 1992, p.111). ‘We are seeing through Laura’ (Dyer, R., 1993, p.16).
