i be still affect by this film . i work at the theater that have show it and be surround by the controversy . it get the first nc 17 rating ever ( which be pretty much a kiss of death and like the film showgirl . ) . the reason for the rating . an erotic picture of a woman and an octopus . ( true story . ) . anyway and this be a pretty intense film and and the triangle ( henry and june and and annis ) be pretty interesting and too . the one who steal the film though be kevin spacey ( early in his career ) a osbourne and the writer that obsess with naked female contortionist . i like the feel of 1930 paris and the cinematography . watch out for a cameo by gary oldman a pop ( he be marry to uma thurman at the time . ) .
