“Lucy knows about both sorts of high. She’s a junkie, joined at the crotch to fellow addict Greta, a German actress still heroically mourning the death of Rainer Fassbinder. Greta is also Lucy’s muse – the dazed centre of her “cutting edge” photography. But the arrival of straight-in-every-way Syd (she lives downstairs and only pops up to fix a leak) disturbs their equilibrium.” –Charlotte O’Sullivan, The Independent, April 8, 1999
