Summary: Portrait of an intense, obessessive relationship
Review: This, to me, felt like somewhat of a cross between "Lolita" and "In the Realm of the Senses". The sex and SM scenes are hot, mostly: there were a few technical details that broke the illusion. To see the descent of the couple into an alternate reality of their own making was chilling.

Summary: Pretty good SM flick
Review: Those who are prudish, have only a taste for vanilla sex or sexually naive should find your entertainment elsewhere.The story line has that unresolved, vague emotional conclusion akin to "A Death in Venice" or "Lolita." The early part of the movie breaks the fourth wall which may be the director's attempt to cushion the audience to the subject matter. The more I think about it the more this seems like a lack of conviction. The movie would have been under your skin more if this trick was done away with. For those in The Scene, there is some hot impact play, switching, and one scat scene, done with mostly dialog. "The cutest SM movie ever" is not a far-fetch tagline.
