	Intimacy : film review
		Despite most European commentators expecting Intimacy to be cut to shreds by the hitherto archaic film censorship people in the UK, we have here instead probably the most graphic sex scenes ever to appear in mainstream picture houses.
		In this film, we see one hard, with a condom rolled onto it, we see it resting with a condom on it, we see it being sucked.
		The film is, at its core, a study of relationships, about what makes people do what they do within relationships and how one relationship affects another.

	Encyclopedia: Intimacy (2001 film) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Intimacy is a 2001 France/United Kingdom/Germany/Spain drama film by Patrice Chéreau and written by Patrice Chéreau, Anne-Louise Trividic and Hanif Kureishi.
		The film is about love (understanding without words), moral values, duties, broken dreams, theatre life, not about sex without soul (otherwise Jay would be more happy when a twenty-year-old girl seduces him), though the film is very graphic and contains sex/nudity (that will not distract a mature audience).
		The film is considered controversial because of some extremely explicit sex scenes.

	Guardian Unlimited Film \| Reviews \| Intimacy (2001)
		What a film critic often fails to realise is that a film is intended to help the audience escape from whatever life they are experiencing at that moment.
		That is about all I have to comment upon this film, and would like to make an open commendation to the director of the film, and also the director of the BBFC for allowing such a milestone to be released for public debate.
		Intimacy is a depressing, gruel-like depiction of a hyper-real England where the pallor of one's skin cannot but be grey.

	Intimacy (2001): Reviews
		This intense film depicts the purely sexual relationship between a lonely man (Rylance) and a married woman (Fox).
		Chereau's film is both an observant portrait of class-bound London by a foreigner and an empathetic look at sexual passion that completely avoids cheap prurience.
		A better film than Romance (as the trend is to compare the two) but still not a film I would strongly recommend to anyone, especially family :-) It explores some deep emotional and human themes but how well it does that is really up to each individual viewer.

	Elmer (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		This film is about how an acknowledgment of the 'psychological presence' of the infant in the time prior to, during and after birth, the most sensitive and impressionable times of our lives, can lead us into finding out more about ourselves and becoming more present for our children.
		It is an interesting film and introduces in a dynamic way the key concept of the autonomy, sensitivity and intensity of the new baby.
		The film is narrated by Binnie A. Dansby.

	Korean Movie Reviews for 2001: My Sassy Girl, Musa, Friend, Take Care of My Cat, My Wife is a Gangster, Volcano High ...
		The film stars Lee Sung-jae and Cha Seung-won as two former high-school classmates who grow up into unexpected professions: Lee, the smart kid in school, becomes a gangster; while Cha, the school bully, decides to be a physical education teacher (perhaps that one wasn't quite as unexpected).
		The undisputed star of this film, however, is Jeon Ji-hyun, an icon for her generation who trades in the nice girl image of her previous films for something with a little more fire.
		When casting for his new film, he decided that a new-styled genre deserves new actors, so he chose Jang Hyuk and Shin Min-ah for his leads, both of whom are making their film debut.

	Patrice Chéreau: the outsider looking in - The Boston Globe
		French director Patrice Chéreau's new film ``Gabrielle" is a return to themes explored in his 2001 film ``Intimacy" -- what happens to married women who take lovers, what happens to their relationships when their secret lives are exposed, why people choose to stay in their marriages rather than leave.
		Q: With this film, which uses theatrical elements such as title cards and lush orchestration, you seem to have let go of any intimidation you might have had about whether you are perceived as a stage director or opera director or film director.
		Last week I was at a dinner, and there were men and women there, and a man was saying how respectful the film was of women, which I believe, and how important it was to respect women, but at the same time he never let the women talk.

	Favorite Films of 2001
		As suggested from the Film Main Page, I have chosen to list my favorite movies as seen based on the calendar year rather than on the film released year.
		Unfortunately, for the non industry film fans seeing all quality films on scheduled released dates is particularly tough, especially since many are only submitted to film festivals or selection committees at year end.
		2001 was fairly good year for the silver screen, but not as strong as recent years.

	Focus. Intimacy. Our Song. Reviews
		The first line of dialogue in the film is "Was this agreed?" The response a cold quick snap of a "no." It's typical of the lovers' exchanges for a good portion of the film and also indicative of the coolness of the whole enterprise.
		Film critics and audiences, if reviews and box office are used as measure, seem to prefer traditional storytelling to stylization and symbolism.
		The strange critical response to this film is just another sad indication that we are only comfortable with certain types of filmmaking...and prefer slickly produced but shallow films to somewhat heavy-handed but stylistically ambitious ones.

	OFFOFFOFF film review INTIMACY (Intimité) movie by Patrice Chereau with Mark Rylance, Kerry Fox, Timothy Spall, ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		"Intimacy," the new film by French director Patrice Chereau, shot in London and adapted from two short stories by British writer Hanif Kureishi —; "Intimacy" and "Night Light" — is a hardcore look at human relations in contemporary society.
		The identity of Claire remains a mystery for the first half of the film, and although the mystery is more interesting than the resolution, I won't spoil it for potential viewers.
		Much of the film is done with a hand-held camera (not the sex scenes, though).

	Movie Habit: Review of Intimacy (2001), **
		Among the film’s many themes are the need for release and the importance of human contact and communication, but Jay’s emotional retardation goes too far.
		Instead of appreciating that different people have different needs and concepts of happiness, the film seems to make a case that the well-adjusted human being is merely a mythological creature.
		Intimacy, the movie, will be remembered for its uncompromising sex scenes more than for any other part of its content.

	intimacy
		The first section of this film has little plot apart from some shots that leave little to the imagination and has actors (more so in the case of Fox) that should be known to quite a few.
		Directed by Patrice Chereau from Hanif Kureishi's novel 'Intimacy', this isn't one for the dirty mac brigade as it presents sex as being unstylish and fumbly whilst being shot in a realite manner rather than to encourage titillation.
		Yes we do have a film about a lack of intimacy, but can a couple hope to avoid this sort of slippery slope when planning to escape from life for a few short moments every week.

		Goodwin's short film Closer investigates and subverts the encounters we have with strangers in public places.
		Using a zoom lens and a long distance laser pen Goodwin collapses the spatial distance between the camera's eye and its subject, filming individuals as he simultaneously touches them with a beam of light.
		Despite his bold scrutiny of his subjects, in this process of familiarisation and intimacy, Goodwin also seeks to offer them a mysterious protection from the luminary stethoscope by partially obscuring their faces from the viewer.

	Lessons of Darkness: Intimacy (2001): B+
		Intimacy (2001): B+ A blistering look at amorous alienation in which scenes of graphic sex underscore the differences between physical and emotional intimacy, Patrice Chéreau’s Intimacy pulsates with desperate, miserable passion.
		Their silent trysts (and one heartbreaking bathroom masturbation scene) are shot by Chéreau with an eye toward the explicit, though the director’s aim isn’t to titillate but to expose how Jay and Claire’s corporeal proximity helps perpetuate their emotional remoteness.
		But whatever truths he learns – and what both eventually discuss once all their cards are laid out on the table – aren't nearly as revelatory as the couple’s preceding stark, rough sexual encounters, in which images of ordinary, unclothed bodies writhing in distressed ecstasy convey a palpable sadness.

		The film begins with one of their nearly wordless meetings, and launches almost immediately into an exceptionally explicit sex session.
		When Jay, in an attempt to see if the emotional intimacy that he never had with his wife can be established with Claire as easily as their carnal intimacy was, follows her, the film begins to shift to Claire’s point of view.
		The film is interesting in that it reverses typical gender roles (Claire wants just sex, Jay wants more) as it reinforces them (the film introduces Claire properly only as it begins its quest for emotional attachment).

		For a start, the film is not entirely about the crumbling of a marriage and the desperate search for passion in an otherwise lust less life.
		What I then saw were two white bodies, moving together like Rodin's sculptures beautifully united in their dance of desire...There was no artificial smiles or styled muscles, natural true sex with sweating and sounds of exercise, and the relief afterwards, tenderness, not many words were exchanged...
		It was a film tremendously moving for the truth it showed, starting with the sex on the floor, pictures of the protagonist Jay smoking on the toilet in a bathroom filled with fungi (men usually do not clean up, that is so real)..
