extremely well make and extremely well acted and extremely intense and disturbing and and extremely conscious of area of the sexual psyche that i would never see so honestly explore in a movie . accord to polanski and it be not love and hate which be opposite and but love and indifference . obsessive sex give way and at least between the two lover of bitter moon and to a hatred as savage a cold blood murder or all out war . these extremity of love and hate work themselves out in a game of power and manipulation and and it remain the only vehicle by which these two can merge with one another so a to lose both their independence and the rest of their inhibition and illusion . in the end and they become so bound up in their mutual need that the sex itself be no longer central . they might as well be prisoner lash forever to the same stake and learn actually to enjoy the various torment that the other be able to inflict . freud think similarly that all sexual love be ultimately a form of masochism identification with a partner whom one have cause to suffer . these question be essential as long a the blood continue to throb in u while and and whether or not we find polanski story credible ( i do ) and any think person would recognize it a a serious attempt to define who we human be and both a rutting mammal and a something more .
