QuickView

Story-line: Stephen Fleming, a prominent English politician, puts himself at risk when his emotions get the better of him.  

Pluses: plenty of passion from Jeremy Irons and Juliette Binoche, a top-notch supporting cast, Louis Malle’s steady direction and a jarring ending.

Minuses: none really.

Comments: DAMAGE remains a standout in the ‟steamy” love story genre. As Anna Barton would say, ‟Damaged people are dangerous. They know they can survive”. Indeed.
