Mike Figgis has always been an arthouse director working in the mainstream; sometimes, as with Leaving Las Vegas, very successfully. But in his latest, most personal film, Figgis fatally oversteps the fine line between innovation and self-indulgence.
The Loss Of Sexual Innocence features fragments from the life of lead character Nic: as a child glimpsing a naked woman, as a teenager in his first serious romance, and as an adult (Sands) struggling with his marriage.If told simply, it could have been an absorbing, even poetic inquiry into sexual experience.
