![]() When Stilly is not on or under O'Brian she is using a little buzzing toy. ![]() The two of them together constitute a sexual dynamo. You can never tell with women! But O'Brian, although he obviously must know he's on camera, must have studied with Stanislavski. She ties HIM to the bed and steps on his chest with high-heeled boots. He blindfolds her and ties her willing hands to the bed while he goes down on her. He performs cunnilingus, seeming to plunge into her from above, like a diver in search of abalone.

Unless, and I hate to suggest this, the significance is unthinkably banal: humans are emotionally frigid and driven by natural forces, like icebergs. The episodes involving the couple are little slices of life with many fades to black, many cuts that seem arbitrary, and some visual and narrative allusions to Antarctica, the significance of which escapes me. The other half sketches in a brief relationship between a Londoner and a visiting American student. I don't mean that the music is poor, only that I can't tell whether it's any good or not.Ībout half the movie is shot at a concert. ![]() I have to say that I dozed off a bit during the 9 songs recorded live at a concert because, with one exception, a simple piano solo, it is just not my kind of music anymore.
