I am not a follower of the Red Shoe Diaries, so I didn't have expectations in watching this movie. That said, this has to rate as one of the better movies I have seen in recent months. It can best be described, I think, as an erotic film noir. As another reviewer commented, the sex scenes are not gratuitous but integral to the plot, with one or two minor exceptions. The protagonist DJ spins various stories of love, passion, betrayal, & self-discovery, and it soon becomes clear she is central to one of the stories. All of her tales connect in a dramatic flashback scene which drives the entire movie. The movie then flows to a conclusion that is completely unexpected, yet not totally far-fetched. There are plot holes, and parts where the viewer's suspension of disbelief gets stretched pretty thin, but for the most part this is an enjoyable and wild ride. I heartily recommend it.
