Sorry, but this is the kind of movie that pushes my buttons. This film takes itself very seriously and seems to think it is making a profound statement about something: men and women, relationships, love, sex--who knows what?--when in fact it dares and says nothing.
I won't rehash the plot, but I will make a few points about its illogicality and lack of believability. We have two people who are sneaking around, meeting clandestinely very much like two married people having an affair, although they both appear to be unattached. Why, then, the secrecy, and why does neither do more than hint at breaching their cloak of anonymity. Secondly, what sexual practice could be so unusual that it couldn't be talked about and would cause the man to say he would rather die than reveal it? After all, there are only so many things people can do, and both of these people seem reasonably experienced. This alleged sexual practice is only a gimmick to start the story going. And finally, where else but in the movies do people make love with sheets draped over them? It was the actress who presumable did not want to display her body. Fine, that is her right, but then why do a sex scene?
I'll stop here, but don't waste your time or money on this one.
