This movie is about a man meeting the woman of his dreams. They automatically connect but the woman tells him she wants believes to achieve great sexual bonding, passion and desire, a certain amount of time and patience and restraint must be exercised. She sets him a date, five months later where they will have their first sexual encounter and they see each other only once a week until then. This movie is all about the buildup of the kind of desire and longing that few people will ever bother to wait long enough to experience.
That said, I certainly don't think it's a great movie and I didn't write this review to advise people to watch it. I wrote this review to counter balance the overly negative review I read here. Yes, the conversations often revolve around sexual matters but there is NOTHING misogynist about it (as other comments here suggest) unless you are a frigid, castrated puritan.
My advice: if you see it as nothing more than what it is, an ode to longing, it's not a bad movie. Whatever you do, make your own mind about it. I'm happy I did.
