I saw this film on the Sundance channel while on vacation. I was tired and sleepy at 3 AM, yet with all its frustrating flaws, I was not quitting on this unusual fare and was so glad to have seen it through to its horrific conclusion. There are definitely many respectable strokes of directorial brilliance in this film. There's no question that the everage, still-puritan American is not ready for the intensly normal love-making depicted in this film. To dismiss it as pornographic is immature and ignorant. Precisely because this film ventures into new stylistic territory that it holds your interest. The story line is not great, it is often uneven, awkward, poorly paced and cut, but as soon as you hit a low you get soon gratified by any one of the many high notes of this film. This film should be seen for its originality, for its difference from the standard fare. It's anything but forgettable.
