Top CriticA delicacy, a passionate and compassionate study of erotica.
08/03/06

07/01/06
Top CriticOf all the supposedly challenging attractions playing locally in our supposedly more enlightened era, the most compellingly erotic and entertaining spectacle is still provided by Belle de Jour

Top CriticThis silly little masterpiece regards Deneuve as the goddess of light she really was -- a figment of our collective appetite for the unreal.

Top CriticEvery detail has been so carefully thought out that seeing it again is like seeing it in another key.
