Title: Sex and drugs and sex and rock 'n' roll.... and sex
Product review: It's not easy to review this movie objectively. On the positive side, it is a refreshingly honest depiction of an intimate relationship, spliced with some OK-ish music and a few brief, stunningly beautiful scenes of Antarctica.What will the film be remembered for though? The sex of course, which is certainly every bit as explicit as you've heard.Apart from a few amusing snippets of dialogue, I didn't particularly warm to the characters though. Matt is pretty dull and doesn't come over as intellectual enough to convince as a scientist, whereas Lisa is selfish, concerned primarily with her own pleasure.Michael Nyman's piano piece was good (but irritatinly truncated). So what is there after the shock value of the sex? Not a huge amount.I expect viewers will buy this out of curiosity. Watch it once then cast it to the back of a drawer.Sure it breaks new ground, and in that respect it has a certain importance, but it's no masterpiece.Caveat emptor.
