Blackeyes(1989)

Blackeyes is a four-part BBC miniseries written and directed by Dennis Potter. The surreal drama follows novelist Maurice James Kingsley, who writes a bestselling book inspired by his niece Jessica's modeling career—a move that enrages her. Maurice transforms her real experiences into the story of a victimized woman named Blackeyes. Jessica fights back by rewriting the novel herself, determined to reclaim and liberate the character from her uncle's narrative. Potter's complex examination of authorship, exploitation, and creative control unfolds across interconnected storylines that blur fiction and reality.
