Une Liaison Pornographique

Explores the opposite approach to the age old adage that sex changes everything. When in fact it's not the sex that changes things but life that gets in the way. We are introduced to two people in quasi documentary style who are being question on how they met and what eventually drove them apart. The most interesting aspect of the movie for me was the relationship going in reverse of the usual sense of the word. Sex was first but then after a while emotions and curiosity ultimately got in the way. Everything flows and is tastefully done, unlike those other porn movies that are playing in theaters giving prudes everywhere an excuse to see some skin by saying it's an art house movie. The casting is what works greatly to the films advantage, instead of two supermodels we get two real everyday looking people and that's what ratchets up the eroticism without the need to cross into the x-rated territory.
