ASSIGNED NUMBERS

MPAA Rating: R

Julian Sands stars as a surgeon who is so obsessed with Sherilyn Fenn that he amputates her limbs, in order to keep her with him always.

SEX/NUDITY 9 - Many, very explicit sex scenes, including intimations of oral sex. Some sex scenes involve unorthodox positions, a lot of thrusting and a lot of nudity. A number of women are shown topless, under various circumstance (in one scene a woman's bare breast is shown as she taunts her son who's been watching her make love); there are also many bare bottoms, both male and female. A woman explains, in explicit detail, how a woman likes to make love.

VIOLENCE/GORE 4 - A woman is hit by a car and her legs are briefly seen being torn apart; it's a bloody scene. Fenn is shown limbless in many scenes although the amputation is never actually shown. There are shoving matches between the two principals -- with some slapping and choking -- and Sands threatens to kill himself while pointing a gun at his head; he then threatens to kill Fenn while pointing the gun at her head.

PROFANITY 5 - Seven F-words, as well as several scatological terms and sexually explicit descriptions. [profanity glossary]

DISCUSSION TOPICS - Unrequited love, amputation, obsession.

MESSAGE - Obsession can sometimes be mistaken for love; do not treat people as possessions.
