This is truly one of my favorite films of all time. From the clever dialogue, lush scenery and amazing cinematography, I find it irresistable.
While it was an admittedly erotic film, I found it extremely 'body/nude positive' in the sense that it showcased the true beauty of the human form and seemed to celebrate it.
Also, the creative way that the director "morphs" scenes into and from noted works of art. Brilliant!
The Soundtrack -- by Oscar winning composer RACHEL PORTMAN -- melded the at times ethereal emotions of many scenes and drew the viewer in. Again, irresistable...
A few scenes that stand out:
*Dream sequence of Tara Fitzgerald's character when she descends into the water at night in a gauzey Egyptian cotton nightgown and the three models emerge from the water and caress her.
*The scene when the "Statue" comes to life and walks off into the illuminated night mist...
This is a film NOT to be missed. One will not regret viewing it.
