What can make make-up, hairstyle and lighting from an initially very attractive and seductive Emmanuelle Seigner, is fantastic. But the actor's performance of this woman, who are increasingly assuming a role of a victim in their role is significant because with their conversion they also change their posture and their facial expressions in order to later be back to the beautiful woman who the audience at the beginning of the film has come to know. Rather than break down the degrading behavior of her partner, she turns the tables and even Hugh Grant has a defeat, but which should not be revealed, because the film thrives on excitement and unexpected turns. Point deduction, there are a few lengths and savoring of erotic games that act sometime pretty ridiculous, although this is certainly intended to represent the creeping banality in the relationship between two people. This raises a bit of a dream island feeling one, because who has daily sunshine and beauty around them, which will eventually boring. He longs for a change and this is precisely where the passionate pair initially arrived. They forgot to live everyday life. Instead, they had to always think of new kicks to escape their boredom to not increase longer possible. Although one can understand the behavior of Peter Coyote a little, because who does not at some point in showing so much deference and whining of his partner's character worse side, so it would be but that the female role, represented by Emmanuelle Seigner is victorious. The dark side in Polanski's films must certainly be considered and understood before ever its background, because his own experiences in life were often more than cruel.
