khi590 . This movie is pure reality -happening every day every hour even via internet nowadays, how a relationships may develop - first love resulting in marriage with two kids developed into feeling of being strangers,complete break, having to lonely masturbate in the family toilet - soooo sad. After divorce children's' visits one day a week only, resulting in self made meals, it is such an unnatural uncomfortable meeting with one parent instead of both that could be best family time instead. In that loneliness then one parent finding love to a stranger, bilateral attraction, while one partner just enjoys fancy, the other part looks for more, but with that attitude induces the mystery slowly resolving back to reality. It is sooooo moving to watch how dream bubbles disappear slowly slowly, and a tragedy evolves. Such a precious movie, daring performance of both actors and director. The music is gorgeous. Tat movie is one of my ever favorites, OK THE favorite - wow - what a movie..prizes were raining (silver bears in Berlin),no prize good enough for Mark Rylance's outstanding performance (should have been platinum - or star dust, really)- wow
axxymax As i said one hat size doesn't fit all. I don't want to be judgmental about the characters or the way the story proceeds. i don't know which era was this film made in. just a note to the story writer do you know there is also something called counseling and therapy. They don't have any understanding of what marriage is. Another name for marriage is surrender and acceptance and patience. The three corner stones of relationship. okay the protagonist the lady goes around satisfying her physical sexual urge with this unknown guy to which a lot of feminist will say sexual freedom and what not. They will also blame the husband that he did not pay any attention to her needs both emotional and biological. I ask you is it entirely his fault. He is an ordinary bloke. what is the director trying to convey through this story. You can have all the good things in life and if your are smart enough you can have them all. any ways there was no chemistry between the actors. very bad acting over all. the sexual scenes are quiet believable. first time was a blow job being conducted in a main stream drama i guess. I say watch this movie only for the sex scenes they are very believable. thats it. nothing interesting here.
Ryan Jafri Well I watched this film, and found myself fast forwarding thru the love scenes. They were too explicit, too visual, especial one particular part. It was unnecessary to show that much skin and certain oral acts. There are classier ways to show a love scene. This however felt like borderline porn.Well besides the major flaw mentioned above, this film could have been great. If done in the vein of "Match Point", it could have been a real gem. Terrific story, but clouded by a shoddy script and uninteresting characters. The flashbacks the gentlemen was having were sort of moving, and he did some fine acting. The woman as well, but I just feel with beautiful cinematography, a screenplay that concentrated more on the loneliness the two main characters go through than the graphic sex scenes this film could have been much better. Oh well.Please don't watch this.
Maciste_Brother One of the most unpleasant films I've ever seen.The dialogue is howlingly bad. All the characters are reprehensible. The script doesn't make any sense whatsoever.The only thing everyone talks about this film are the sex scenes because the rest is not worth mentioning. The story made so little sense. The relationships between the characters were unbelievable (the gay bartender, the drunk roommate, the main character befriending the overweight husband, etc). Everyone, and I mean everyone, was dour and angry.The bits of dialogue made me laugh out loud. Nothing rang true. Notice the hilarious dialogue during the scene between the two women in the park. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. Here's an example:"When I died, there was no one there. I had to go through the whole thing on my own.""What was it, the day you died?"Who talks like that?To make things even worse, the acting is strictly amateurish.The film has a very French feel to it because the director is French but the whole thing didn't jibe at all. It was like watching British characters behave in a French manner, with everything set not in France but set in England.It's almost like the director wanted to make all English folks look bad. Really bad.Avoid at all cost.
