Scenes of a Sexual Nature
A low budget UK production, famous as much for its production stories as the film itself. See the website for a bunch of podcasts & making-of videos including one titled 'A unique look on how a film with a budget of 260,000 pounds attracted a-list actors and gained a nationwide release'.
Sex and love. Some seek it, some need it, some spurn it and some pay for it, but we're all involved in it. Set on one afternoon on Hampstead Heath, London, the film investigates the minutiae of seven couples. The film is a comedic and erotically charged look at what makes us tick.

BBC
A determinedly low-key comedy drama with no revelations to rock your world, but it's also an invigorating breath of fresh air...
