Trivia
When it came out, this film caused a debate due to its unsimulated sex scenes. In magazine and TV interviews, leading actress Amanda Ooms said she didn't regret to have played in this movie: "No not at all. I did my job well there, but there are scene in which I had full sex and some other strange things. It's a movie on the border. It's a pretty sex-based movie. It is a little difficult to explain to my own children why I took that role. I guess I did it just because I got paid well."

Not for everyone

I do firmly believe that the revue on this film is highly unfair. The "If You like this try..." says it all. The recommendation is "Requiem for a Dream". It is most certainly not one of the best movies I have seen, but as the angst ridden road movie it is, it is highly watchable. At the time it premiered it was widely discussed due to it's sexual and to some degree violent sexual content. It is a spiraling vortex down to an unavoidable end. Capturing some of the counter culture of the time, wanting to escape Your surroundings, Your situation of Scandinavia, it gives prof that You can leave but never escape Yourself. If You want shine happy people, stay clear away from this one. This end of the 80's piece is as dark as it got back then.
