CGiii Comment

Watch it for Simmons' performance alone...hellishly brutal.

Is there subtext? We believe so...all that passion...taking 'tough love' to ridiculous extremes. But - we believe - that his unattainable attraction turned from reluctant admiration to spiteful frustration...all because he couldn't get what he wanted.

A dizzying experience and the editing is astounding.
