Hey I remember watching this and during the sex scene the two main characters were standing up and they just showed a shot of their feet and lower legs pumping together kind of rhythmically and lazy - and it matched the characters! karma also had a punch card joke in this film and i got in an argument with the associate producer

i told him - hey you can't call this a film, it was shot on video! but then he explained it's a feature film or a feature, shot of digital video i guess that's OK now it just used to be that that didn't count OK good film overall tho the people in it rock! they rock because they care

this movie screamed at me from the shelf at hollywood video. as soon as i read the back cover, i knew i was a goner. my passion for willem dafoe as an actor resembles his character's passion for passion. what an incredible ensemble cast of superb talent! dafoe, lena olin and miranda richardson must all have been in dire need of funds to sign up for such a terrible farce of a film. part costume drama part soft core porn (under the pretense of a foreign film) the image of his glutes bumping up and down will forever haunt and torment me. the 360 of willem and lena olin's embrace is worthy of being compared to orson welles.

this is a good story about cults, how they really are and what it it like to leave one. it is also the best role of james earl jones i think other than darth vader or thulsa doom. the story has particular significance for me as i left a cult type of thing right before i watched it on public broadcasting. i could relate, plus the lead actress whatever her name is way cool.
