Female Perversions
Dare to let yourself go...where you've never been before.
Eve Stephens (Tilda Swinton) is a young, ambitious lawyer with hopes of becomin a judge. Her private life takes a turn for the worst when her sister is arrested for shoplifting and her boyfriend begins to become fed up with her hang ups. Under the pressure of work, family, and relationships, Eve begins to experience disturbing, debasing fantasies and becomes obsessed with cutting herself. A dark, unapologetic vision of the sexual repercussions of a patriarchal society, Susan Streitfeld's Female Perversions has become a controversial modern classic of erotica and erotic dysfunction.

I'm not sure about deep, strange yes, Oh, did I mention bad. This a pretentious little movie with extremely bad acting but fantastic sex scenes. Just because you add artsy segments doesn't make the movie deep. These are symbolism pieces played out over rand over. What is the woman reaching for? From what i can tell, sex and more sex. That's what she does most of the movie. She does it well but when she opens her mouth and tries to act well... thats a different story. So really you will see soft porn pretending to be art. The problem with the movie is that it reaches for too lofty a goal. Yes, the woman is trying to get ahead and we can see why and how. But if you don't care; well then it just becomes boring and mundane.
If you are into that go for it.Strange .. Deep .. Very Strange .. Very Deep - Blue_Bird
It is dificult to descrive my feelings after watching it. It is very strange and very deep. I liked it overall. Some of the things seemes no so acceptable, but may be this is part of being strange. In its totality, I think it gave a 3D scan of the personality of the main character in the movie. I like when they show the good and the bad in the personality. The normal and the abnormal. Even thoush it is rather contravertial, it was brought together in a nice harmony.
