You Are Not I is a 1981 American drama film directed by Sara Driver and starring Suzanne Fletcher, Evelyn Smith, Nan Goldin, and Lucy Sante. [1] The film is based on the 1948 short story of the same name by Paul Bowles.
Adapted from a Paul Bowles story, a young mentally disturbed woman named Ethel (Flectcher) escapes from the asylum where she is treated until she is mistaken for one of the survivors of a deadly car accident she stumbled upon. Then she is taken to her sister's home. [3] [4]
The film was shot in six days for $12,000 as a thesis film for New York University. [1] [5]
It played widely at international film festivals, but a leak at a New Jersey warehouse destroyed the negative leaving Driver with a battered unprojectable copy. It was thought to have been lost, [1] until a print was found at the holdings of Bowles. [6] [7]
It has since been released on the DVD set "Driver X4: The Lost and Found Films of Sara Driver". [2]
