A good thought provoking and entertaining film

Rating: Null/10 (15 October 1999)

After overcoming my reservations, I went to see the film and was enjoyed it. The production, direction and acting were excellent. But then that could be expected from a Kubrick film.
It showed how sexual feelings and erotic behavour can be portrayed and expressed within a storyline with a degree of sophistication, not leaving the audience feeling that it was all that mattered. Many couples have private feelings but cannot express them to each other but live out their fantasies in many different ways. Kubrick showed us how one couple were able to do it and survive. I still have a difficulty with understanding the meaning of the title but then I am a scientist and am probably looking for a meaning that is not there. Anyway a thought provoking and entertaining film and I recommend everyone to see it.
