Although you have to admit the premise is original, this is just like all of Zalman's other pics, he does us a great service to us birdwatching community. You gotta admit to see it's lead women, naked, is another one of the movie's pleasures, where nakedness runs high in Zalman's pics. Lonely bored housewife (Severance) is left alone for the weekend, as hubby and kid have gone off somewhere. She's developed a sexual fixation on one of her landscapers (Billy Zane). And as fate would have it, she's gets locked in her caravan, ending up at this tranquil deserted lake, and have a guess with who. It's a menois de trois, and sexual therapy for Severance, whose sexual hunger has been pent up for two long. It's up to Zane and his beautiful girlfriend to bring her much wanted sexual desires and fantasies to life. That's the business of the story, but like all of all of King's work, the movie chooses the weird way of telling the story which makes it more brief, than if going on the realistic path, if getting to the core of Severance's problems. But it does have a beautifully told story, and is beautifully shot. Aside from that, it's a borderline porn, not much substance kind of film, but films like these do have their perks.
A 30-something housewife gets a crush on this manual worker who is living in a caravan close to her house. She feels sexually unsettled despite possessing a pleasant home, a charming little son and a loving husband - who are, as it happens, just off on a fishing trip for a few days. She is so besotted by her initial contact with the worker that she enters his caravan in his absence and sentimentally strokes some of his books. Then, a shock - suddenly the vehicle is driven off with her inside.Quite a good start, you might think. But it soon deteriorates into the soft porn, witless directionless movie matched by a few thousand others. The caravan stops beside a picturesque lake and a superbly-built naked blonde bather enters the scene. She soon persuades the non-swimming housewife to not only enter the water, but submit to being ferried on her back by said blonde to a large swimming-raft. As you may imagine this is the start of some lesbian goings-on.The manual worker of course returns complete with rippling muscles and completes the sexual triangle which somehow finds itself later immersed in a stormy jacuzzi in the middle of Chinese New Year junketings. Our mild housewife, after being caressed under water by Mr. Muscles, gets a bit put out when she sees him paying similar attention to the blonde, takes one of the burning candles which bestrew all porny films at erotic moments and, via a handy diaphanous curtain, sulkily sets the whole place on fire.As if that were not proof enough of brain-damage in the direction department, the script (?) takes another, even less likely twist when Mr. Muscles not only drives the obviously bonkers, still-naked woman to her home (hubby and little boy having fortunately not yet returned from the fishing), accompanies her indoors, lectures her on her wifely responsibilities, finds her a dress and clothes her, disappearing before hubby and son return to enjoy a rapturous reunion.A sadly flawed irresponsible film despite the best efforts and good looks of the women. A jarring note was the frequent loud crashes in my speakers accompanied by split-second images apparently inserted by the director to keep the audience awake.This nonsense barely deserves the four rating it has been given.
Joan Severence is hot as a wife and mother who takes a chance and "broadens her horizons" by following a tree trimmer. Passion ensues with Billy Zane and another woman. The threesome will leave you breathless. It is also available in an "unrated" format. It adds slightly more steamy scenes, without being too too graphic (which is a shame). At the end of the film you will want (need) to have a partner nearby. Imagine loving bread, wlking by a bakery with fresh bread cooling in the window, and having fifty minutes to wait until opening.
This movie has the most incredible sex scene I've ever seen. It takes place in a steamy hot tub with two girls and...ohmygosh...Billy Zane! The passion, the steam, and the look in his eyes makes this sex scene so immaculate, I wanted to rewind it a thousand times. Unfortunately, it was on TV. If you don't watch the movie for the screenplay (which is great also), watch it for this sex scene. I've never been so turned on by a movie before. I think I've found a new love for Billy Zane.
