A wonderful observation on strange relationships., 27 April 1999
9/10
Author: mifunesamurai from Australia

Boy and girl meet. They go to his apartment, do the naughty and then play with each other's neurotic wits. Wonderfully underplayed by the cast. A cute simple story with interesting editing, photography, art direction, music and even directing.
