A new version of the greatest psychological mystery of all: love.
Intimacy doesn’t answer the question, which makes it all the more tantalizing: This is an emotional puzzle movie.
Sometimes gets bogged down in its own wordiness.
Jay and Claire are exquisitely played by Mark Rylance and Kerry Fox.
Chereau's film is disjointed and abrupt and it rages when is should be deft. We're given too little too late and, despite the lessons that lie within the affair, the lines between enlightenment and nihilism blur.
Wants to be a "Last Tango in Paris" for the new millennium, but its flaccid dramatization and hollow moralizing doesn't rise even to the level of last year's "An Affair of Love," let alone Bertolucci's masterpiece.
Plays like a warmed-over "Last Tango in Paris," with more explicit sex but a lower level of originality and acting skill.
