Intimacy (2001)

I despise being confused during a film, and this one goes out of its way to keep you a bit off balance. I wasn't quite sure, by the way flashbacks were filmed, if he was divorced or his family were dead, or he was just fantasizing about something that never was...yuck. However, there are moments of great power and truth in this film and that makes it somewhat worthwhile. As a whole, though, it doesn't hang together. And, as a side note, though the sex is graphic it's shot in such a way as to be as unerotic as possible. What you think during the sex scenes is "they're having sex," not "ooooh, baby" or anything.
