Erotic Romance

Intimacy - by Patrice Chéreau (2001)

A failed London musician meets once a week with a woman for a series of intense sexual encounters to get away from the realities of life. But when he begins inquiring about her, it puts their relationship at risk.

“ESTÔMAGO – A Gastronomic Story” is the story of the rise and fall of Raimundo Nonato, a cook with very special talents. It deals with two universal themes: food and power. But more specifically, food as means of acquiring power. It can be defined as “grown-up fable of power, sex and cooking.”

Sophie seems to have an idyllic life; she's the perfect housewife for Andrew, her successful husband. Their relationship is put to the test, though, when she can't conceive a child. To save her marriage, Sophie does something desperate. She initiates a bold and clandestine venture with Jihah, an illegal immigrant from Korea. Sophie soon finds this new arrangement spiraling into a situation that may actually destroy what it was meant to liberate. Starring Vera Farmiga, David L. McInnis, Ha Jeong-woo.
