Shots to the ... body and mind

Yes this does deliver and serves up cliches. But it also shines a light on some important issues. You may say that it shies away to give us something that we can grab onto. But it is always a matter of perspective. And it also can be something that is or can be called a burden.

Quite a few actors you may have seen since then. Some of them were not as known when they did this - therefor you may be surprised by at least one of them appearing naked in this. Especially considering how she was vocal about not appearing nude in anything ever since. Maybe this movie did the trick to her - in a negative way.

But again, this is about gender issues, about sexuality, about how we present ourselves and how much down the rabbit hole we can go. There is a need to talk to each other - a curious gem from the 90s that I reckon can be called woke nowadays ... to a degree. Because it still has things that you probably would not see today ... especially certain ambiguities.
