Review by Miguel Fialho

Let's start with a few questions!

How do we get really intimate with someone? With your mind or with your body? And at which point are we willing to share our intimacy? Let's just try this particular point of view (one of many) in this movie. The one that struck me the most. People who talk and try to help someone with their personal experience may give a little enlightenment but never touch one's unique mind nor will fully understand the equation of it. Sometimes, it's better not to speak at all. Just like Claire (Kerry Fox's character) shouts to her husband after their quarreling: "You don't even know how to hurt me!"

Sex is the logical answer in this picture. It's the only thing that's left to get intimate with someone and doing so, openly, we don't pretend who we are. "Show me how you do it and I'll tell you who you are!" Unfortunately, some things should never be told or wanted to discover. No words should be spoken. Here, intimacy is to acknowledge only with body and never with the mind. It has nothing to do with pleasure. It's sharing to the very core of physical acquaintance. And doing sex like this it's the ultimate essence regarded only to whom can't "play" anymore their ordinary lives. "Share with me the way you do it and I don't need to know how you live".
