All i have to say is this was one of the best erotic movies of the 80's.Movie Review: This film is worth seeing and having!
Summary: 4 Stars
Don't know why I didn't see this movie until recently. I found this to be a thoroughly entertaining film, with fascinating performances and all the 80's accoutrement's - music, fashion, set decoration, etc. I find it interesting that people can get so many different feelings and experiences from one movie. I don't know how anyone could call it boring, but we all see different things when we watch a movie.
There are wondrous scenes of erotic intimacy here (unfortunately not as fully developed as they could be) - and glimpses into just what two people "in lust" will allow themselves to be led into... The sensuousness of the relationship is the key - not the believability of the surroundings or the rest of the 'plot'. Is it believable? It certainly is conceivable... Liz (Kim Basinger) studying slides at work, so distracted by her thoughts of intimacy with a man she hardly knows that she can't keep her hands off herself... John so taken with her that he will spend exorbitantly for a gift - to give a woman he doesn't know - but feels that he must meet. The passion and need for these two lonely people that lets them open doors to their inner selves and allow another in BEFORE thinking of the consequences (there are ALWAYS consequences, in film and life; for opening "those" doors). Is it believable that they would win the fight with the street thugs? No. Is it believable that the adrenaline rush, the release of the flight impulse and fear, the closeness found in 'defeating a common enemy'; could possibly lead to the intensity of sexual closeness and climax in a semi-secluded spot (under falling water at that)? Yes. It's entertainment, not a psychology class.
This movie, dated as it is, is still fresh because it is enough like life to be real. Anyone who can remember working in an office in the 80s will relate to the telex machines, phones with bell-rings, and no desktop computer for the manger, and no mobile phones. The 80s apartment decor and fashions will also jog memories. A number of us may not be that rich or that attractive or that selfish or that spoiled. But we also may wish at times that we were...highly recommend.
Movie Review: psychological porn
Summary: 4 Stars
This is quite a quirky film. On the one hand, there is a passionate sexual relationship that seeks to ever increase excitment, etc. through ever more bizarre games. In this, it is an affair that is unusual, but not unhealthy in my view as many state here. On the other hand, there is a serious examination of the two people involved, both of whom are not very good at relationships. All the reasons for their failures - and the bad mix that they become - is portrayed clearly, and while it isn't appallingly deep, it is a solid novelistic treatment. So the content is quite good, a slice of life in passionate experimentation that eventually transgresses too many bounds. I believe it is somewhat of a classic of the genre of deep porn. Now that I am a middle-aged man and not their age, I still thought it was very good.
There is also an artistic backdrop, which appeared a bit stilted to me after 20 years. The music cut-ins felt a bit contrived, the New York art world - and I was living there at the time and into that world - doesn't appear at all relevant anymore. I was surprized I felt this way.
Interestingly, the film diverges from the book. Without giving anything away - and this did not happen in the film - at the end the guy just leaves when the woman has a nervous breakdown, their encounters having become the focus of her existence. He remains distant and never reflects on who he is, what he is doing, or what the woman means to him.
Recommended. It is a bit dated, but there is a lot there.
