Sex, as usual, can't keep its hands to itself. The beach is pristine, enclosed by towering cliffs, on a tiny island off the coast of another tiny island. Danny Boyle directs with his customary verve. DiCaprio lives and breathes Richard, always one step away from realising what the hell is going on. This is a film about possession.
Beauty stops being an issue.
