CGiii Comment

Maligned and misunderstood?

Or, a bizarre cross between David Hamilton softcore imagery and Flashdance choreography?

Adrian Lyne has made some seriously notable films - this, after the iconic Flashdance.

It's slow and intense...and reeks of the 80s. The curiosity value is as a precursor to the fatal, indecent attractions and proposals.

Strangely, it's better now than it was then!

The(ir) Blurb...

An erotic story about a woman, the assistant of an art gallery, who gets involved in an impersonal affair with a man. She barely knows about his life, only about the sex games they play, so the relationship begins to get complicated.
