This might be a strange question...


I used to work at a little video store. About once a week, one woman would rent this movie and keep it the alotted 5 days. Then a few days later, she would return and rent it. This process went on for about a year before the store closed down. My question, being that I haven't seen the movie, is what would compell her to have an obsession with this movie? I mean, we had a back room with all the regular porn, so I don't imagine that it's just the nudity.

Maybe she had a thing for Mickey Rourke?

Maybe she was just a repressed woman trying to avoid other people renting this movie.

Otherwise she could have made a copy.

If she paid good money for this astonishing piece of dreck, she must have been a masochist.

I like that story, thanks for sharing. Hmm, I wonder what she's doing now? Tssk.

That's what I was thinking!

The film seduces you. It was trashed by critics world wide- they kept focusing on the sex and not the storyline. The movie is amazing, the scenery and music is hypnotic.

"well if she did that a whole year she may as well have bought it & saved herself the $$$"

This is the reply I was referring to when I said, "That's what I was thinking." I just realized it looked as though I was responding to a different one. (And I'm not really wondering what she's doing now. LOL)

If you like this movie, then you really like this movie. Most people either love it or hate it. The scenery and story show a repressed woman evolving into a fully sexual relationship. The scenery is just as lush as the transformation. The sex may not rival porn, but the set up is exactly what many women want - charged with erotic electricity. I can easily see someone becoming obsessed with this movie.

My guess is Jens Peter. He is the volleyball player the 2 ladies seduce. He is one of the most absolutely breathtakingly beautiful men I've ever seen. As far as I'm concerned, he's the best part of this film. It's not the usual film a gay man would like anyway but he makes it completely worth it.
