NOTES Much talked about film about sexual obsessives who are

turned on by car crashes. Arquette plays a character who

wears braces which attract a certain type of person.



The trouble with waiting to watch a film on satellite you're

sitting on about 2 years of hype before it arrives.

The film is sexy but for me it's the wonderful Deborah Unger

not Rosanna Arquette or Holly Hunter. It's also a film of ideas.

The effort to explain these sometimes obscures and slows

down the film. And not everyone is up to the intellectual load

being carried. By the end you come away thinking that

something important might have been said but you missed it.



From the novel by J.G. Ballard.
