Saw Intimacy last weekend. Set in England directed by a frenchman, Michel Chereau. It came as close to an xxx porn movie as anything I've seen in a regular theater. If the couple weren't really having sex they fooled me. I guess the movie tries to examine the meaning of intimacy, physical and psychological. A married woman comes for sex every Wednesday to the apartment of a lonely, divorced man. They don't talk and neither knows anything about the other until one day, after their weekly session, the man follows the woman in an effort to learn something about her, presumably out of his need for greater intimacy than provided by sex, however good. (It was pretty good!) [The movie is highly recommended by Cap'n Dirty, but it's not an Academy Award candidate.]
