...crossing of class and sexual borders is the rule in similar high comedies: Noel Coward's Hay Fever, Jean Renoir's The Rules of the Game, Ingmar Bergman's Smiles of a Summer Night. But those were about flirtation; director Bartel (who also plays Clare's snooty diet doctor) wants to talk about performance.

Symptoms include fever, nausea and fatigue and, in chronic cases, cirrhosis of the liver. About 5% of the U.S. population harbors non-A, non-B viruses. The majority of those who are exposed show no symptoms, but of the patients who come down with chronic liver disease, an estimated 10% die within five years. About 150,000 new infections occur each year because of blood transfusions...
