i have seen the film and it was indeed quite harsh in places (although not necessarily in a shocking way). quite a good film, all in all. not all too many movies with dustin hoffmann where he goes utterly apeshit out there. |

saw it on DVD a few weeks ago and the extras section is really great with interviews with theproducers, the actress and the directors biographer which all really add to the appeal of the movie and how "that scene" was so shocking at the time but says a lot more about the human condition and than loats of other art. fucking brilliant. Hoffman... a legend |

Fuck! I forgot to watch it last night. Bugger. |

yeah, I watched it last night - wasn't as good as I expected, although the long finale in/around the house was quite crazy. |

I really digged it! It's rare to see a modern movie that's such a clever study on human behaviour - Really liked Dustin Hoffman trying to "be a man" in front of his woman, etc... Thought it was really tastefully done, not too obvious. Susan George is a babe in that film too! She popped up in Eastenders briefly not too long ago... That film does kind of make the working class out to be a bunch of lazy beer drinking sexual predators though! |

I don't think it generalises the working class at all. |

I think it has a pop at insular country bumpkin types. Yaknow, the UK equivalent of rednecks. |

Didn't ya think so? I'd have thought a typical american watching that film would be left with a pretty bad impression of the British working class! |

There's a reason that people get stereotyped... people actually are like that in places. I've experienced it first hand, and I'm sure plenty of other have too. As for the film, I watched in on DVD a few months ago and I found it quite dull :/ A good film when watched once, but dull. |
