Enormously controversial and unrelentingly graphic, Michael Winterbottom proclaimed this drama to be the most sexually explicit film ever released in mainstream British cinema. He's right--Kieran O'Brien and Margot Stilley star as an attractive young couple who frequent rock clubs in between bouts of wild sex. The man's memories of the affair (recollected during a flight across barren Antarctica) offer a level of formal complexity, as do Winterbottom's gritty video close-ups. "Softcore structuralism in the service of hardcore sex" (J. Hoberman, Village Voice).                                       Michael Winterbottom---Great Britain---2005---70 mins.
