I often think it's a little unfair to review mainstream movies in this book and put them in competition with the porno garbage, but the reasoning is that you want a sexually arousing experience and if it comes from Hollywood, or in this case, Canada, instead of the usual con artists, so what. Due to the subject matter, I have the distinct feeling that the Producer and Director may be "that" way inclined but they really don't dump on the males too much and although the ending is somewhat downbeat from a male perspective it's not too repulsive because by then you've identified with the lead actress, Pascale (pretty, striking face, lithe body, medium/large natural tits, tight waist). She and Henry, her discreet boyfriend, are teachers in some sort of religious college and are offered a joint position of chaplain by the head guy (everyone is Reverend something-or-other) but their private life must be beyond reproach, which of course it isn't as he well knows. Pascale meets "performance artist" Rachel (some black genes giving her a coffee-colored look, very pretty, short black hair, small/medium tits, lithe body, tight waist) due to a clothes mix up in the laundromat and is immediately taken with her (lots of goo-goo eyes) but has a major internal conflict with her religious feelings and her feelings towards her boyfriend. She eventually gives in to Rachel but is so torn emotionally that she tries to commit suicide in the snow. She's saved, partially due to Rachel, and leaves town, her job, and her boyfriend for life with the travelling troupe. Sexwise, under the opening credits, you get a dream sequence of the two girls underwater. After the meeting they have a fully clothed and erotic stand up deep kissing sequence in the hall. After hang-gliding together, Rachel massages Pascale--very tender--but they're interrupted. Henry screws Pascale in the usual soft-core scene during which she dreams of Rachel. Pascale gives in and does a long g/g with Rachel at the circus while two girls swing on the trapeze overhead. Some symbolism here that I missed. Finally, while under the snow, she dreams of Rachel and there's some repeat footage of the opening under-credits scene. Copyright date is 1995 and it was released to video in 1997.
