this be an interesting study in societal sexuality and as well a the dark interest of man . while i can not say the wife be a strong character she be the wrong choice for the part and in my opinion she be a rich kid in search of escape her drool life . she be a rebel in fact and and never fully mature for her husband and a lawyer ( rickman ) . it obvious he marry her for her money and to cover his sexual desire and which be taboo . rickman play his part to a tee and his flirtation with the young man and and very subtle undertone of gayness . the young man be gay to the hilt . when he do marilyn impersonation that should have tell the wife everything . he be perfectly cast as well . he have hustler write all over him . i be not crazy about the end and a i know what be come . overall though and the act from rickman be great and reedus be good and walker be okay but i have misgiving . for a gay theme movie and it be average and but not blatant at least . it worth view if you do not have truly madly deeply lie around for a spin .
