Cast: Nicole Kidman, Ben Chaplin
John is a reserved bank teller but a true romantic deep down. As an escape from his dreary solitary routines, he decides to bring home a live-in girlfriend from Russia. Enter ravishing Nadia. Not expecting an non-English speaker, John is disappointed but his disappointment is shortlived when Nadia seduces him. Soon, as it happens, every wild sexual fantasy of his is fulfilled by Nadia and the silent communion they share suits the quiet John perfectly. Just when things are spicing up perfectly well, on Nadia's birthday two shifty characters from her past join the party. They invite themselves and proceed to live in John's home much to his dismay. One night after one of them gets too close to Nadia for comfort, John confronts asking them to leave. That's when matters take a different turn taking John on a journey he least suspected.
This sophisticated narrative keeps the twists coming and you're left with a love story not run-of-the-mill.
Rating: Four stars.
