Steven Soderbergh explodes onto the episode with this provocative, intelligent play-acting about infidelity and voyeurism. Ann Milaney (Andie MacDowell) lives in a agreeable Louisiana home with her lawyer groom, John (Peter Gallagher). She spends her days fretting concluded the insurmountable problems of the excellent and her own unfocused sense of melancholy. Although she doesn't be versed it, she has a good reason to be upset: John is having a torrid intrigue with her younger, more extroverted sister, Cynthia (the lewd Laura San Giacomo). When Graham Dalton (James Spader), an outdated coll... ege around with of John's, comes to go, all three are momentarily distracted from close problems and intrigues as they examine the odd environs. Ann soon discovers that Graham has some strange habits and problems of his own. Plagued about impotency since the calamitous breakup of his model relationship, the young knight of the road finds sexy enjoyment by videotaping women willing to talk about their fleshly past and fantasies in front of the camera. A chain of attraction and jealousy develops as the four interconnect in several varied pairings, culminating with Ann's arbitration to be proper Graham's latest subject. Soderbergh's quite influential independent feature plays a treacherous thriller that builds in traction until each's secrets are bitterly exposed.
