West Germany likes Lucy's photography very much and encourages her to take pictures for her magazine. Lucy seems to have regained her creative inspiration with the help of Sid. So the two people had a subtle feeling in the process of getting closer and closer, and they had to re-examine their lives and feelings.

Brief comments:

This film is bold and sharp, and contains the unique essence of independent films. However, unlike ordinary gay movies, Lisa Cholodenko has a kind of wisdom and cleverness between sex appeal and passion. By describing the emotional stories of a group of neo-Bohemians like new york, the director tells various themes of conflict between ideal, art, career, temptation, sacrifice and love. Although most of the characters in the film belong to the marginal crowd, the emotions it reveals are universal. Lisa Jolodenko, with her keen sense of life and ability to capture genius, makes the film reveal infinite and profound meanings behind the concise narrative. Those mental pains, emotional entanglements and struggles in life are properly infiltrated into the derivative development of the story, especially at the end of the film, which has an implied tragic meaning. It's hard to imagine that a rookie director can. The film changed the rough and casual image style of small budget production in the past, and showed exquisite beauty in color, lighting and composition. The superb acting skills of the two heroines, radha mitchell and ally sheedy, West Germany and Lucy, also add a lot of color to the film. Especially after her comeback, ally sheedy filled the film with wordless tension and passion with her relaxed and natural performance.
