The Pleasure Principle (1991)
One of my favorite films ever
This film is a little gem. The story is told in a very relaxed way using the main actors voice as a commentator on his feelings and thoughts while you watch him struggling through his love feelings.
All characters in this film have terrible problems with their feelings towards the other - and part wise same - sex. So unfolds a hard to believe but still believable (believe me) story. The actors are not overacting as we often see it in awarded roles but are appearing comfortably relaxed with their roles. The acting is good and right on the spot.
The probably best of the whole film is the soundtrack. I do not like soul music but the tracks are soulISH and fit the subject beautifully. A saxophone is used here and there and blends in nicely with the overall mood. Even one of the main actresses is shown playing it.
Very nice, very relaxing, very enjoyable. No big drama cinema, but a lovely film to enjoy.
