The Rachel Papers (1989 Damian Harris & scr)

From Martin Amis's novel. Dexter Fletcher seeks to seduce American Ione Skye, though she's already going out with James Spader. With Jared Harris, Jonathan Pryce, Leslie Sharp, Bill Paterson, Michael Gambon (billed high though only in one scene), Claire Skinner, Gina McKee.

Alex Thomson shot it. Electronic score isn't bad.

Young men are arses, cf. Baisers Volés. Scene with used condom is out of sight.
