Don't be fooled by the soft-porn title, this film offers a tender, fresh interpretation of the archetypal May/December love story, focusing on the complexities and contradictions of the characters, and the quirky nature of relationships. An intense physical attraction makes lovers of Dominique, a poised, sophisticated career woman, and Quentin, a handsome, streetwise young hustler. She gives him shelter and nurturing, and he gives her youth, beauty, and excitement. But can their passion support the emotional weight of love? [Less]
