Nelly's Version is a 1983 British mystery film directed by Maurice Hatton and starring Eileen Atkins, Anthony Bate and Nicholas Ball.[1] It was based on a novel by Eva Figes. The screenplay concerns a woman who turns up a hotel having lost her memory and forgotten who she is.
A Variety review called the film "art that droops with symbolism and lacks the narrative thrust to assure broad appeal, even in art house locations". The musical score was criticized, though the way the camerawork emphasized a character's sense of alienation was praised".[2]
