Read More This is not the NC-17 version. Cut are 3 minutes of nudity and possibly a bit of the scene following the female lead's deflowering (the blood-smearing part). A little of the shock is gone but the story, tensions and music is still all there. Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||

Read More Before viewing the film watch the Directors comments, then you may begin to understand what he is doing. It's all about the riots in France in 1968, with a 60's Sex drugs and movies theme. The story line is thin, and the brother and sister bizarre. But not a bad flick. Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||

In reality this movie is about movies. Its centered around cinema and its changing power. All the characters are movie buffs and any movie lover will enjoy this movie. Just because this movie features a lot of sex scenes does not make it about sex. This movie is about change and dreaming of a future. Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||

Read More So the purest prudes reviewing above did not like the raw sex, there was no raw sex, just soft acting. The story was believable, but the other reviewaers probably never even saw the sixties. If you listen to the commentary, you may appreciate the film more. Who cares about a little flesh, most Yanks are FAR too prudish. Go to the continent, see the real lifes of the French, Italians, Brits and the EU, then watch this again.

Read More i heard talk, talk, talk and review after review of how great and fantastic this movie was. The plot had such hope, such dreams only to be shattered by, "What the hell is going on here?" Don't get me wrong-- i have nothing against nudity, incest, rape, the French, but when you just kind of lump it all together and decide to film it, you've got to expect a few raised eyebrows.
All-in-all-- good idea, just not well executed. i think Michael Pitt will be better off either do soft cable porn or perhaps be in the next "Scarey Movie."
Oh, in case you WANT to rent it BECAUSE of the sex and nudity-- it's not worth it. Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||

American boy visits France, meets twins (boy/girl). 3-way sex, full frontal nudity, full sex. Netflix rates this NC-17, here on Blockbuster it's R. Should be XXX. Great if you like this sort of thing. Gays will like the full frontal male nudity. Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No |
