from acclaimed director bernardo bertolucci ("the last emperor", "last tango in paris") comes a breathtaking rilm rich in passion, desire and intrigue.
shandurai (thandie newton; "beloved", "mission impossible 2") is running from her past. after her husband is arrested for anti-government demonstrations in africa, she flees to an enchanting villa in rome where she gains employment working for an eccentric recluse mr. kinsky (david thewlis; "seven years in tibet", "the island of dr. moreau").
kinsky soon becomes obsessed with shandurai and the two find themselves in a web of attraction and denial, of awakening and discovery. but in exchange for her love, shandurai asks one request of kinsky - a request so powerful it means he would ask himself the ultimate question, "how far would you go for passsion?"
