Description: A young computer genius from San Francisco, Richard Longman, earning a lot of money, but without normal communication, once acquainted with Florence – a beautiful stripper. Fascinated, Richard invites her to spend three days with him in Las Vegas. There, in the capital of human greed, they make love, exploring the limits of their sexuality …
Review: Fairly good atmospheric movie. The capital of human greed is practically nonexistent, and indeed are not shown outside the sexuality of the main characters. Movie, though much spiced with scenes and dialogue childish nature is still more philosophical. And by the way, based on the description suggests similarity to the “Pretty Woman” – this assumption is wrong.
The idea that everyone is in their own world around him and, of course, is its center is not new and has already played up not once, not twice – somewhere more, somewhere less. This film is interesting enough specific approach to the issue. It’s nice that the creators have done without sharp contrast comparisons worlds millionaire and a stripper.
