WILL KIDS WANT TO SEE IT? Unless they're fans of Newton, Thewlis or director Bernardo Bertolucci ("The Last Emperor"), it's highly unlikely. As she soon realizes Kinsky's plan, Shandurai becomes more attracted to her boss that eventually leads her to a difficult decision about the men in her life. With ever more of them disappearing, she simultaneously gets encouraging news about her husband's whereabouts and the progress of his case. Yet as Shandurai continues her medical classes with fellow student Agostino (CLAUDIO SANTAMARIA), she begins to notice that certain valuable items in the house are now gone. Not realizing she's married, Kinsky withdraws to his piano, apologizing for his forward indiscretion. She, however, wants nothing to do with him, but during one of his romantic throes where he says he'll do anything to gain her love, she tells him to help free her husband. Seemingly somewhat eccentric, Kinsky is passionately attracted to Shandurai and sends her little tokens of his love via a dumbwaiter to her basement bedroom. Sometime later, she's living in Rome working on getting a medical degree when not serving as a live-in maid for Jason Kinsky (DAVID THEWLIS), a withdrawn pianist, composer and part-time instructor who lives in a large house left to him by his aunt. PLOT: Shandurai (THANDIE NEWTON) is a young woman who's shocked to see her teacher husband forcibly removed from his classroom and imprisoned for unknown political reasons. QUICK TAKE: Drama: A young woman becomes attracted to her boss when it becomes apparent that he'll do whatever it takes to free her politically imprisoned husband.
