Summary: Fantasy and desire are unleashed in this haunting, erotic tale of love, lust and obsession. Nick Cavanaugh (Sands) is a brilliant surgeon who seems to have it all -- money, prestige, looks -- everything except Helena (Fenn), a voluptuous, cold-hearted seductress. After a one-night stnad with Nick, she refuses his advances, but he continues to pursue her... (imdb)

Now that is romance that I like- coupled with obsession and deviance. It's original because it's the only feature-film that I'm aware off that deals with amputation and obsessive romantic love. Almost all the characters were unique and new. (Well, except Helena's lover in my opinion, but you can't have them all:) ). All in all it's a really fresh take on romance and love.

Top badass moment? Given that the main male character (a psycho surgeon) is probably in the Top 10 Wusses of All Time, I'm afraid I'm going to have to go with Helena's bitchy behaviour towards the good doctor at his party, where she paddles in the fountain (in that way only sexy women in movies can) and then goes off with his friend, right in front of him. Crushing someone's ego entirely is baddass, (even though it's really, really mean too). 0 cats. 0 decapitations.

I'm almost afraid to watch this movie again. I remember watching it prepared to hate it and instead going, "Eureka! I get what you are saying Jennifer Lynch!" Clearly I'm a party of one. I also found some parts hysterically funny although I'm still not clear if that was the intention.

I found this to be an enjoyable film for its unique take on obsession and romance, but the ending completely ruined it for me.

Apparently, David Lynch was unable to pass on his talent to his daughter. Genetics can be a real bitch.

Something makes me want to see redeeming qualities in the work of Jennifer Lynch, but there is no reasonable way that this can be described as good.

Well, this is what happens when an idiot tries to make an "art movie." Hilarious misogynist trash, borne almost entirely out of nepotism. Pair it with Cronenburg's Crash for a fun "good art film/bad art film" double-header.

This makes some typical, self-indulgent mistakes for a 90's erotic thriller that do detract significantly from the overall quality; it's still a laudably original film. Plus it's atmospheric, I like the message, and the cast is good. I have no idea what Bill Paxton was shooting for with his performance in this, but it's very entertaining. The mansion it was shot in is lovely, too.
