What happens

Remember My Name is a 1978 American independent psychological dark comedy-drama thriller written and directed by Alan Rudolph and produced by Robert Altman. It stars Geraldine Chaplin, Anthony Perkins, Moses Gunn, Jeff Goldblum, and Berry Berenson. Rudolph called it "a definite leap for me as a filmmaker. I was proud of it then and feel the same now. I thought people might pay attention to a different kind of American film in an era of Jaws (1975) and Star Wars (1977), silly me." (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
