Don't be put off by the cover which makes it look like some kind of American Pie style sex comedy. This is a sophisticated black comedy / romantic art film, which defies being categorised any more than that. Although the main theme of the film is S&M, don't expect too much graphic detail - this is no soft porn flick. It's a psychological study of two oddball characters, each with their own individual dysfunction, who discover that they fit together like Yin and Yang, and embark on a mutually satisfying affair. Eventually their relationship transcends the physical and romance creeps in. I came away with the feeling that everyone is damaged in their own way and if 2 people can find a way of comforting each other then no one should judge that. There are no rules about relationships ? they are all unique and you never know what is going on behind closed doors. This film is original, funny, dark, raw and touching - the best one I?ve seen all year.
