"WE'RE NOT GOING TO DISCUSS THE FILM - BUT IT'S THEMES". WE'LL JUST GIVE THE SYNOPSIS!

For Expats Of All Origins. French. Visitors (All Ages).

SEX, LIES AND VIDEOTAPE (SEXE, MENSONGE ET VIDEO). REVISITED. WHAT THIS FASCINATING FILM SAYS TO US NOW. DISCUSSION.

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

PLOT SUMMARY:

A beautiful, sexually repressed young woman (Andie McDowell) has decided that she does not need sex in her life. She has never experienced an orgasm. Hence, her husband (Peter Gallagher) is having a torid affair with her sister. The arrival of her husband's old college friend, Graham (James Spader) who will visit with them for a while, and who having a rather unusual fetish, changes everything. Graham likes to videotape interviews with women during while they express (talk) their sexual fantasties and desires. He is temporarily impotent, after being abandoned by a great love, and can only be aroused while watching these videos. He lives through these videos

Whenever a woman espresses herself in his videos, her life opens up. Meanwhile Graham and Anne warm up to each other

At the end of the film everybody's lfe changes.

There are themes like sex, lies, betrayal, denial, awakened passion, self-discovery, renewal and so much more. This enduring film by Steven Soderbergh (1989), winner of the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival, has many compelling themes worth talking about.

"...A simmering exploration of the nature of modern relationships and the links between sexuality and voyeurism"

Whew! - Patricia
