Review of Intimacy

Intimacy (2001)
7/10
Sex attraction vs. Love
9 June 2006
A man and a woman, they barely know each other, they don't even know their names, and they're connected only for one reason: each Wednesday she visits him and they have an intense session of sex. That's it: 100% animal attraction... but he wants to know something else about her, and things will become complicated. At the same time we'll gradually discover some details about the lives of the main characters: their disappointing in love, their fears, their doubts...

I'm sure that most of the people that watched "Intimacy" pointed out the fact that the scenes with sexual content are quite explicit (pornographic, to put it plainly). Now,I'm not gonna discuss about if that kind of scenes are necessary or not, that's up to the director (and to the actors), but the fact is that in this case they emphasize the powerful sexual attraction between both characters.

This is a good modern drama, with some secondary characters that look rather unnecessary. Two thumbs up for the work of the the two leading actors (you won't see Angelina Jolie or Sandra Bullock doing that kind of jobs)... and we also have the great Timothy Spall (but don't worry, you won't have to see him naked).

*My rate: 7/10
