You Are Not I (film)

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.

[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.
