From The New Yorker
Jay (Mark Rylance) and Claire (Kerry Fox) meet for sex every Wednesday in Jay's unfurnished London flat. Photographed in a ghostly light, the two grapple silently; their lovemaking is more about hunger and release than pleasure. The director Patrice Chéreau, adapting stories by Hanif Kureishi, seems to be attempting a generational portrait of Londoners in their thirties who are not quite gifted or single-minded enough to fulfill their dreams-failed musicians, painters, and actors who have drifted into wretchedness and bickering. The movie has some fine moods of bafflement and rage, but much of it is garbled and rather vague. The camera, right on top of the actors, seems to be chASINg something that it can't find. With Timothy Spall as Claire's faithful husband, by far the most fully created character in the movie. -David Denby

Customer Reviews

intense!
i gave this movie a 4 out of five stars because i never seen a movie like this b4 it didn,t explain how they got 2gether but the sex scenes where like wow! it started so fast after that then the movie got rolling they both were unhappy at home they both stayed because of children so it seemed but the way the husband found out was really sad but the main characters just had this unwavering need 4 each other no words just action until the end when he wanted her to stay but she couldn,t i wanted her to leave and stay with him but she had a son and children should always come first so as the 2 would say next wednesday then!

Very well Made.. Not what I expected
I think this movie is worth seeing if you want to. You must be into these kind of movies to aprecaite the level behind these movies. Although i did not give this movie a "5" star rating it is becasue when i bought it i was expecting somthing more. Do research before you see this movie, you'll be glad you did. Also this movie is very explicite and should only be seen by 17+. Which if your a teenager trying to see this movie, please see other like it. For example Romance, Antanomy of hell and of course 9 songs.

BE ADVISED ALL OF THESE MOVIES ARE EXPLICITE AND SHOULD ONLY BEE SEEN BY ADULTS!!

In short veiwers i like the movie but when i bought it it lacked a certain somthing. The scenes are good and the plot sucks but the only reason i bought this movie is so i could add it to my collection.

Thank you.

Soft Story to see
Very nice product as far as concerned of Clarity and Sound. Very good 5.1 sound effect.
