Mister Hoffman only wants to share his love, 16 September 2003
Author: Silence from in Bellevue

Because there are only two characters in the whole movie we are given a wonderful taste of what the actors can do. Sellers tumultuous life and rare abilities shine through every scene. A must for any fan of Lolita or Being There.
