I'm by no means anywhere being privileged rich.
I beyond liked the film.
Go figure.

I didn't see her as pretending to want drugs. The point about when they get horny their true natures come through may be key here - HE wants her to be cheap, slutty... she really wants drugs ... the first scene where we see her is the old housekeeper having to wake her from a deep sleep/mild coma whatever ... drug induced? (that was my intial reaction before the "buy me drugs scene).
Then again.. I hadn't considered the "pretend" scenario until i read the above. Maybe she was role playing after all? Playing the part of s street whore asking her "punter" to get her drugs for sexual favours, as she knows this is what turns hubby on ? Or maybe this is a hint that he initially found/net her as a street whore wantig drugs, married her, and this is just a revesiting of their "courtship" ? I wondered if Kim's mentioning the husband's "love" for his wife being a suggestion (to the audience) that in fact the marriage was not based on love, but appearances and mutual benefit - she gets out the gutter, he gets a beutiful wife that will not "cross the line".
I'm probably overthinking this all! But good point!
JJR had a bigger impact on me, and is way higher in my "best films seen" list.
But its not really about comparisons otherwise.
I'd watch both again
yup - that thought struck me too.
That smacks of a scene cut - but them why bother with the snippet with him translating it.
Yup. I really enjoyed the film, but this in many ways was the actual weak point.
That said if that hadnt have happened we'd have had no story!
LOL
didnt she die of blood loss?
I only saw it last night and I can't remember now!
