About Why Things Burn
Tawdry Audrey' is trying to get back to her old hometown...the one she left 5 year ago under the cloud of scandal. It seems she just can't keep her hands off of men...no matter who they are or who they are with. It's not that she's an evil girl, it's just that when she's around men sparks fly...and when sparks fly... Things Burn!
Directed by Jean-Pierre Ferrand, Why Things Burn leans on a strong ensemble — Alex Jordan, Sally Layd, Marc Wallice — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 1994.
