Perhaps best described as an overwrought kinky sex fantasy, this metaphor machine tells the story of a husband discovering that his wife's search for sexual satisfaction has led her to consort with an inhuman monster. Isabelle Adjani is nothing if not committed to a role that won her critical praise as well as a Best Actress award at Cannes -- the fruits of unbridled hysteria. Also praised for its raw depiction of a failing marriage, which is, like the rest of the movie, ugly and messy and cruel, and about as enjoyable as a train wreck. Sam Neill, meanwhile, for whom love has become an addiction, eloquently, if advertently, extolls the virtues of an accidental overdose. With lots of yelling, loads of blood, and a DIY approach to What It All Means.
