Death In Love: Couldn't possibly be more New Yorky . . .

This is a complicated film with an ensemble cast that shows the lives of a completely dysfunctional family in NYC. Josh Lucas (protagonist)has just turned 40 and is expressing his mid life angst throughout the film. His French Jewish (Jacqueline Bisset) mother punctuates their lives with uncontrolled hysterics while their father stands calm;y by weathering the storms of rage. Lucas Haas plays the younger brother who is mentally out-to-lunch but is something of a piano prodigy who further complicates things by living at home.

The story flashes back a good bit and shows that mom was in a German concentration camp where she escaped experimentation by becoming the lover of the camp commandant/doctor. She actually became passionate about him and that passion lasted a lifetime and it soon came to revisit her with deadly results.

Josh Lucas life had been spent as a footloose semi-con man for a make believe model/actors agency that offered portfolio and acting class services. He maintained an erotic S&M relationship with his Asian boss that led to great frustration. Later he became friends with the newest and youngest member of the agency (Adam Brody) who tutored him in the art of carefree life and developed a dream for both of them to start a "real" talent agency at an available Broadway address.

This movie is a complication with lots of raw, raw sexual action with none of it being gratuitous.

Now, why is Anna of "V" in this review? Because in the first scene she is totally nude with Josh Lucas for a few minutes. Let me say that lizard has one very tight bod.

SO, the New Yorkiness of this film with full view of Moreena Baccarin make this a recommendation. And don't worry about wanking because three of the actors do that for you in this film.
