I saw this movie more than 30 years after it was made, so the question is also, if it aged well. Yes and no. The colors and scenery is very 1992, and while it might have seemed modern and high-class back then, it seems gray and claustrofobic today. The erotic sceens might have been daring back then, now they seems ordinary, abait they still do the job. And Juliette Binoche is lovely as always.
My main objection to the movie is however that I don't understand the attraction between the two, which partly is because they both plays there roles understated, him as typical british upperclass stif upper lip, her with not much expression in her face.
I don't like the ending, and I think the theme "damage" should have been explored more.
But still a movie worth watching.
