It's the story of that woman named Anne. Ann seems to be trapped in a bad sexual relationship with her husband who sleeps with her sister for a long time. Things turn out to be a completely bad path when a visitor arrives with an unusual fetish.
The actors are superb; working from Soderbergh's funny, perceptive, immaculately wrought dialogue, they ensure that the film stimulates both intellectually and emotionally.
Soderbergh has assembled his cast into a fascinating jigsaw of neuroses, which then leap from the screen thanks to his intriguingly intellectual script.
What amazes is that at just 26, Soderbergh displays the three qualities associated with mature filmmakers: a unique authorial voice, a spooky camera assurance, and the easy control of ensemble acting.
