SIMAS C @simas_eros 10 hrs ago A film in which eroticism lies not in the baring of bodies, but in the baring of souls. It is a highly compelling concept, emerging at a time when video cameras first allowed people to record their most intimate moments. A conservative, married woman finds herself betrayed by both her husband and her sister—until the arrival of a mysterious man with a peculiar fetish (portrayed by James Spader, an actor who has become synonymous with such roles): he interviews women about their private lives. This enticing proposition awakens the repressed sexuality of his friend’s wife; despite its dramatic tone, the story leaves a distinct, lingering impression. A classic.

I liked it that Graham destroyed all of his tapes & his camera @ the end. Highly recommended. directorial debut. Orin P.

To think that at one time humans were thoughtful and delved into each other and their feelings- watching this now in 2025 is like watching a time capsule of when people interacted. Compelling story, I even like the kind of distant ambient music during parts of it. It was between a 4 1/2 and a 5 but given the time displacement and how REAL it still feels, I think it's a justified 5. It's also kind of a movie that had started Soderbergh's career- and he's an iconic director on most peoples top ten list. An easy add to your movie collection.

Such an inspired story and execution See more 雅苏 典 @RT19153018 Apr 19, 2024 一般我是不感冒感味人性的片子的，因为比起情节的波折情感的复杂更难以并懒得归纳，不过这部的娓娓道来般的层层推进却颇意外地舒服，即使看得仍云里雾里未暇细品却还不失舒服 See more Read all reviews
