The Decline of the American Empire (1986)

I found this movie to be rather interesting. The intensely personal sexual escapades spoken of by both male and female characters was a bit unexpected. Not a fan of "Sex & the City" because I found it's sexuality boring, this was much more realistic in it's depiction of the intellectualization of sex by its couples. A story of what couples do together and apart, as friends and as lovers. I valued the depictions of adult sexual situations, discussions of marriage, relationships, affairs by reasonably attractive, intelligent men and women. All in all this film was enjoyable for an afternoon. Lots of nudity and sexual situations, but nothing too graphic or at all "pornographic".
