Plot
A separated London bartender has anonymous weekly sex with a woman, until he begins to follow her and to find out about her life.
Sinekatalog’s take
Patrice Chéreau's explicit drama of a bartender's weekly anonymous encounters is raw and emotionally searching. Mark Rylance and Kerry Fox are fearless, though the film's frankness overshadows a thin story.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
