If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

If the point and main interest of this movie was intended to be the philosophic conversation, then Mimi Roger's bare breasts were an unnecessary distraction. I couldn't for the life of me give my attention to what they were talking about when her bare body gave me so much else to think about. And how Bryan Brown was able to concentrate on his acting whilst massaging her voluptuous breasts and body is a wonder to me. Mimi Rogers must be quite comfortable with her body and quite fearless in being willing to subject it to the close scrutiny of cinema audiences. But I'm somewhat disappointed in her. She's such a good actress that I would have thought such a soft-porn movie was beneath her.

What thoughts would go through two strangers minds after initially bypassing the social preliminaries and going to intimate contact and then getting to know each other better? The intimation is that maybe they would like to take the relation further, but professional ethics require them to escape to the past, so as to almost avoid the present. The sexual tension is so thick you can cut it with a knife.Roeg does his usually excellent job of mixing the erotic with the everyday and making it seem completely natural.

If you don't like to think when you're watching a movie, this isn't for you. True, you see Mimi Roger's tits a lot but that's not what the movie is about. This movie tells the stories about both characters and how their lives turned out the way they did.

Contrary to most of the other lay reviewers, I am a serious student of holistic health practices, esp. eastern traditions- and I was not looking for much gratuitious sex...although the nudity was o.k. I thought Brian Brown did a good job (and apparently he has had some training in massage) -I thought the acting was good, and I liked the way that the "dilemma" of sexuality vs. health treatment was handled.Mimi Rogers, always a treat for the eyes, was believable as a conflic- ted yuppie with good taste, inquiring mind, and hungry libido. I have recommended this film to others who are massage/holistic health buffs. It would not appeal to many people who are just looking for spicy sex, however.
