Short description
An erotic story about a woman, the assistant of an art gallery, who gets involved in an impersonal affair with a man. She barely knows about his life, only about the sex games they play, so the relationship begins to get complicated.
What's left behind the scenes
- Demi Moore auditioned for the lead role, but Adrian Lyne decided that at 21, she was unlikely to be convincing as a divorced gallery employee.
- Kim Basinger became the owner of over 14 hours of footage that MGM believed could cause psychological trauma to viewers. These materials have never been shown anywhere, and are not even included in the director's cut released on DVD.
- The film is based on the novel of the same name and quite accurately conveys the content of the original source, although it is presented with a strong emphasis on eroticism and emotionally difficult moments.
- To get Kim Basinger to perform the role as he envisioned it, director Adrian Lyne employed tactics of emotional manipulation, which Basinger later sharply criticized. For example, Lyne forbade Basinger and Mickey Rourke from communicating with each other off-set. They were kept apart, and Lyne would relay rumors about Rourke to Basinger so that she would demonstrate her feelings towards him on set. Furthermore, Rourke received notes with directions from Lyne, while Basinger received nothing, which also got under her skin.
- In the erotic scenes, body doubles were used instead of Kim Basinger.
