The Big Swap is a new and couragous move from the English movies industry...they explore a new theme...swinging relations...in a good combination of eroticism and marriage-relations analysis...plus....the development of the scenes is logical and very interesting....i recommend it to those interested in the woody allen kind of movies...keep going English cinema...
