Thanks to the outdated cheesy translation, I thought it was a lighthearted and fun romantic comedy from the early 80s. But I forgot: it was a James Spader movie. The film begins and continues in a sensitive, tense, restless, and thin-ice atmosphere. After the heroine meets the eccentric boss, this atmosphere is even worse, and it develops in an uncontrollable and indescribable direction. Two seemingly ordinary people form a soul mate in an odd way every day. This is their luck.
In fact, everyone is a freak.
