Summary: GREAT EROTIC THRILLER
Review: Antonie Kamerling and Peter Postlethwaite excell in this haunting erotic thriller, containing manipulation, deceit and love/ hate releations. A film impossible to ignore.

Rating:
Summary: An all-time-favorite
Review: Antonie Kamerling is GREAT as Chris. Every time I show this film I am told by the people present that they are completely taken by this film. It can be difficult to sit through bacause of the manipulative way Chris is treated... but it is a frightening look into shady characters of the under-world.... It`s daring... it`s haunting... it`s great...

Summary: techincal problems
Review: I found it hard to watch. The movie is in a language other than English which comes as no surprise. The problem is that the subtitles are partially cut off in the lower half of the second line of dialogue. It was too difficult to determine what was happening since I don't speak the language and the subtitles were largely illegiable. I never finished the movie. This applies to the DVD version

Summary: EXCELLENT MOVIE
Review: One of the best movies I've ever seen! and it's not because of the erotic content, it's because it is a smart movie for smart audiences. Pete Postlethwaite Glover plays an awesome role: Calm and to the point. Great film with a twisted plot and the ending is just...well, you have to see it!

Summary: How NOT to Transfer a Motion Picture Film to DVD!
Review: The technicians who did the telecine work on this DVD product should be sent back to video school. Not only is the widescreen movie framed to 4:3 (cutting off the left and right sides), but the picture is "overscanned" (cutting off the top and bottom portions) as well. At least 30% of the widescreen frame cannot be seen--hiding some of the subtitles. For those movie lovers interested in an absorbing European erotic thriller, may I recommend the VHS form of "Suite 16" distributed in Canada by Norstar Entertainment/Malofilm. Their widescreen transfer is properly done. Perhaps these Canadians can produce the DVD product sometime soon.
Note: There are at least three different "cuts" of this film: 106 minutes (European version), 98 minutes (Canada R-rated version), 93 minutes (U.S. R-rated version).
