Mpaa Rating : R Genre :Drama,AdultOne man's sexual obsessions and emotional weaknesses are laid bare in this controversial drama. Jay (Mark Rylance) is a cold, emotionally distant man who abandoned his wife and children several years ago andnow works in a nightclub. Jay enters into an affair with a married woman, an amateur actress named Claire (Kerry Fox), in which their emotional needs barely enter the picture; they meet once a week and have sex, talking as little as possible and parting ways once they're done. One week, Jay follows Claire after their weekly encounter and sees her meeting her husband Andy (Timothy Spall), a cheerful and good-natured cab driver. Jay becomes curious about Andy and strikes up an acquaintance with him; as they become friendly, Jay begins sharing with Andy the details of his affair with a married woman, without mentioning his lover's name. Claire has already begun moving away from her affair with Jay, and when she discovers that he's been meeting with her husband and sharing information about their relationship, she becomes understandably furious. Intimacy was the first English-language film for French director Patrice Chereau; the film received its North American premiere at the 2001 Sundance Film Festival. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Special Review For Movie Intimacy
There is an interesting story here, but the movie circles it at a distance.
Eric Harrison-Houston Chronicle For all the sex and vicious psychological game-playing, Chereau's movie is strangely forgettable.
Joe Baltake-Sacramento Bee A film with a few floundering moments that becomes a powerful description of what it means to be intimate.
Marta Barber-Miami Herald Its somber ruminations on passion and desire, marriage and aloneness, resonate with unmistakable force.
Steven Rea-Philadelphia Inquirer It does get at the messy totalitarianism of uninvited emotions, and in that sense, it's haunting.
Stephen Hunter-Washington Post Chereau ... creates a wonderful minor-chord symphony.
Desson Thomson-Washington Post Chereau's first English-speaking feature, based on Hanif Kureishi's stories, is a bold, full-frontal (literally) exploration of the mysteries of male and female sexual desire. As such, the audacious film will divide film critics and get NC-17 rating
Emanuel Levy-EmanuelLevy.Com Pulsates with desperate, miserable passion.
Nick Schager-Lessons of Darkness It's ironic that a film exploring the mysteries of how people succeed and fail to connect with each other then fails to really connect with its audience.
Ron Wells-Film Threat I'm sure Chereau meant this to be a searing portrait of psychic distance, and it certainly is bleak. What it is not, unfortunately, is riveting cinema.
Jean Lowerison-San Diego Metropolitan It's a brave art film only because of its porno sex scenes, but it is not necessarily a perceptive one.
Dennis Schwartz-Ozus' World Movie Reviews It's a frighteningly realistic look at completely passionless sex, and Fox and Rylance both do a good job of making us uncomfortable as we watch.
Jon Popick-Planet Sick-Boy Rylance and Fox, fine actors, bravely grapple through some astonishingly convincing copulation (did they or didn't they?), and even more bravely struggle with Chereau's unspeakable lines.
Jim Lane-Sacramento News & Review The sexual content diverts attention away from what is some very powerful acting by the film's talented cast.
Jeff Vice-Deseret News, Salt Lake City Its unflinching attitude toward sex is only weakened by the lack of enjoyment that the characters seem to have while actually having sex.
Jeremy Heilman-MovieMartyr.com Contains no great revelations, but a lot of outstanding performances.
Edward Johnson-Ott-NUVO Newsweekly Despite this shortcoming, Intimacy takes us places very few films have, and the central performances are excellent.
Robert W. Butler-Kansas City Star Porno for the squatter set.
David N. Butterworth-Movie Boeuf The movie is so groundbreaking ... as to be distracting.
Gary Thompson-Philadelphia Daily News It's never clear ... what, if any, motivation is behind the affair in the first place, or what either participant expects to achieve from their weekly dose of secretive carnality.
Marc Savlov-Austin Chronicle Rylance and Fox are equally incendiary and sympathetic in difficult, daring roles.
Shawn Levy-Oregonian The actors' raw emotional expressiveness lends the picture its memorably gritty impact.
