INTIMACY is a demanding film. It attempts a very close look at human relations… Be prepared for graphic sex and nudity and some intensely personal scenes as this film breaks new ground as it pushes legitimate cinema one small measure toward the edge by graphically illuminating that dark corner of human behavior…
Jay, a failed musician, walked out of his family and now earns a living as head bartender in a trendy London pub. Every Wednesday afternoon a woman comes to his house for graphic, almost wordless, sex. One day Jay follows her and finds out about the rest of her life (and that her name is Claire). This eventually disrupts their relationship. “Intimacy” tells of a divorced man and a married woman who have weekly loveless sex while each knows little of the other. The film explores the “why” of their peculiar relationship and follows the pair of protags to their inevitable conclusion.
