Trivia
Lauren Lee Smith recalls getting a call from her agent on the requirements for the role of Leila, which clearly included not only nudity but on-camera live sex. "I said, 'Are you kidding?'" Then she read the script and recognized its origins. Then director Clement Virgo asked her to audition with Eric Balfour, whom he'd interviewed in Los Angeles. Virgo got them into a room to check their chemistry because he knew that without chemistry they had no movie. "There was apparently chemistry," Smith affirmed giving a giddy laughs.

Goofs
David's apartment number is 101 when Leila leaves, but when the blonde girlfriend leaves, it's 116.

Quotes
[last lines]
Leila: You have to wait... until you're uncovered. You have to wait with someone naked. And then you have to wait some more.

Surprisingly effective and haunting

I was truly surprised by the emotional depth and haunting quality of this film, which could easily have felt merely cheap and tawdry because of the abundant nudity and almost explicit sex that dominates it. The excellence of the performances, however, acts as a counterbalance to the sexual titillation.

In acting this tale of the struggle between sheer lust and real love, both leads radiate a subtlety of emotion through facial expression and body posture that makes the largely non-conversational characters "speak" in articulated ways. The sparse voice-overs effectively assist the development of the relationship. In a society where wide sexual experimentation at early ages exposes many to the pitfalls this film explores, this is a strong statement about the human hunger for love and real relationship.
