Beautiful people with creative (although a bit dated) editing. Nonstop uncomfortable scenes from start to finish. Perhaps intentionally ambivalent like the unrequited love each interweaving plot line focuses on. Many scenes are simultaneously blissful and excruciatingly painful. Which is the other common thread throughout: Machiavellian fulfillment of desire by exchanges of drugs, power, prestige for sex/love. No one is altruistic and everyone is a borderline sociopath which I think says a lot more about the NY urbanites that write such stories than it serves as a social commentary like they intended. But I applaud their introspection and love how they depicted the inner thoughts and turmoil of fighting short term pleasure and inner trauma. Besides, we audience members probably relate to the protagonists more than we'd like to admit. Apparently in France they call orgasms the little death.
