A philosophy teacher restless with the need to do something with his life meets a young woman suspected of driving an artist to his death. He finds the very simple Cecilia irritating but develops a sexual rapport with her. Obsessed with the need to own and tormented by her inability to respond to him, he becomes increasingly violent in a quest he can't name - a quest that slowly begins to undermine his certainties.

We hate to say it, but we can't find anywhere to view this film.

L.A. Weekly by Ernest Hardy

As exasperating as it is insightful. The film ultimately falters, though, because it's so resolutely old-fashioned.

60

The New York Times by Stephen Holden

Overly schematic, not always believable in its crude sexual mechanics and ultimately unsensual. But it lays out the laws of erotic attraction with a brutal directness that is downright scary.
