“Suave and Salacious, a cerebral skin flick”  this is what’s printed on the cover of the movie, next to a silhouette of 2 girls and a pair expanding red wings.   I burst into laugh when I read this, after watching the movie.  Just Brilliant.

Taboo and sexuality —  our morbid curiosity drives us to voyeur, to experience but it will cost us. For the girls, it’s emotionally traumatizing. For the man, it’s quadriplegic and career death.  Done in a documentary-like and dreamy way, the film melts the delineation between logical thoughts and our deepest fantasy.  Captivated and defenseless, we cannot help but get pulled into that world.
