CGiii Comment

Really rather daring for 1980...but, there's no getting away from the lousy acting!

The disco scene is [unintentionally] hysterical...as for the nude yoga...well, it was the 80s!


No trailer...

The(ir) Blurb...

When a married doctor brings home a gay medical student that he's smitten with, his wife goes along and the three try to build a non-traditional relationship. Then society's homophobia intervenes.


"Heller falle ned og dø, enn slett ikke leve." Med dette som livsmotto ønsker de to hovedpersonene i Liv og død, Jacob og Jennifer, å bryte ned sine egne og andres motforestillinger. De vil leve sitt eget liv som de lyster. Personene i filmen hører hjemme i det øvre sosiale sjikt. Ekte champagne, konjakk og whisky inntas i daglige doser. Vi befinner oss i et miljø der det ikke finnes slitere eller folk fra arbeiderklassen. Jacob har en god jobb på et sykehus og Jennifer har en moteriktig jobb i en avisredaksjon.
