(Note: While this film is evidently as explicit as a pornographic movie, it was released by a Hollywood studio, it played in regular movie theaters, it was reviewed by prominent critics and it was shown at international film festivals. Therefore, it was necessary that we review it. While it was not rated by the MPAA, it was been treated as NC-17 by many of the theaters that showed it.)
