The passion and need for these two lonely people that lets them open doors to their inner selves and allow another in BEFORE thinking of the consequences (there are ALWAYS consequences, in film and life for opening "those" doors). John so taken with her that he will spend exorbitantly for a gift - to give a woman he doesn't know - but feels that he must meet. Liz (Kim Basinger) studying slides at work, so distracted by her thoughts of intimacy with a man she hardly knows that she can't keep her hands off herself. Is it believable? It certainly is conceivable. The sensuousness of the relationship is the key - not the believability of the surroundings or the rest of the 'plot'. The question really is, are you watching the movie for entertainment, or to critique it? There are wondrous scenes of erotic intimacy here (unfortunately not as fully developed as they could be) - and glimpses into just what two people "in lust" will allow themselves to be led into. I find it interesting that people can get so many different feelings and experiences from one movie, but then this is exactly the type of movie that would cause such disparity.
