Controversial film when released...it went to US Supreme Court when that was an actual judicial body...but remarkably tame today.
For an hour this irked as we followed an over-privileged twit around while she lead her empty, cheating life. Spoiled and dissatisfied she whined and acted like a demanding jerk.
But beginning with the night garden scene the film soared...beautifully lit and shot. The sex scenes were lovely and discreet. This third of the film made me forget the attitudes towards the characters I had forged. The dawn brought reality to them and to me...this affair was doomed...but that lovers-coming-together sequence is what I'll remember.
A landmark film.
