John Waters raved about this & wow, it does not disappoint for fans of the unusual. It feels like a film only the French or Japanese make. It's so shocking to see a film capture the feelings of giving in to a taboo desire that parts of this are likely to feel as erotically charged to most straight males as pornography. Perhaps its b/c the original writer also wrote the screenplay but all the characters feel surprisingly 3-dimensional & the acting by the 2 leads & DeSantis lives up to the writing
