Why we chose it

Every Wednesday afternoon a woman comes to Jay’s flat for sex, with no names, no talk and nothing before or after. Patrice Chéreau (“Queen Margot”) won the Golden Bear in Berlin for this provocative film and Kerry Fox took the Silver. It’s grimy, erotic and lonely, and it all hangs on who she is.

Synopsis

Jay works behind a bar in London and lives alone in a flat that’s almost empty. Every Wednesday afternoon a woman shows up, they have sex, and she leaves without a word, though neither of them even knows the other’s name. One day Jay follows her, first to a small theatre and then to her home, where a husband and son are waiting.
