Viewing Notes

All I ever heard about this film was “Meg Ryan does full frontal nudity”; turns out the film is actually damn good.

I had no idea this was directed by Jane Campion. To be sure the film has some pretty explicit sexual scenes, but they didn’t strike me as being out of the place. The film is shot in such a languid, dreamy way that it all fits. I’ve never seen New York City look the way it looked in this movie, which is a good thing. The cinematography evoked a late ‘70s, early ‘80s sense of time, though I have no clue what time period the movie was actually supposed to take place in.
