Books - The Life Before Her Eyes
The film willl be based on Laura Kasischke`s book 'The Life Before Her Eyes'.
Diana and her best friend are confronted by a schoolmate killer, but only Diana is spared. Fast-forward 20 years: Diana, now middle-aged and still beautiful, is a housewife and artist living in the same idyllic university town with a handsome professor-husband and a young daughter. She has seemingly repressed her memory of the event as well as her survivor's guilt, but her perfect world and her grip on reality are both starting to crack. These scenes are imbued with that sense of eerie apprehension found in a good horror flick. Woven through the book is a flashback narrative of Diana's sunny but empty-headed adolescent days. Teenage Diana's youthful illusions of immortality are played against the shifting, uneasy reality of middle age.
