Can a relationship survive if there is no passion? Can love be there between two individuals if they don't yearn each others bodies? Is it a sin looking for that ... kick/love? The movie has quite the interesting premise and a lot to say about relationships ... but also how deep the void can be within an individual - sometimes you're not even realizing what is missing ... until you find it.
Kathleen Turner and Anthony Perkins are quite amazing in their respective roles, even if some may feel they sort of riff on previous (better known) roles they have played. There is quite a lot provoking sex that is being depicted, though never does it gets explicit (even when an adult movie is being shown on a TV screen).
The story is quite simple, it is more about the human interaction that happens ... and what the 3 main individuals feel. So in that sense the wife of our main character is a bit sidelined, but you can't really focus on everyone (though there is a deleted scene on the Arrow release, that may be interesting in that aspect among other things).
A movie that has one scene in specific that mixes sex and violence - something that got the movie into trouble. Trouble meaning that the scene had to be cut out. A pivotal scene as the director himself felt - but nowadays you can watch it. Question is if it is too much for you ... A movie that goes down and is as dirty as it could be, but also has some rays of sunshine - of hope for real love. Can it happen?
