I watched it recently on DVD and thought it was very well done. It explores an era and culture that I am not very familiar with. The title is absolutely perfect, regarding the two leads, who crave each other but must be cautious, though for very different reasons. I don't want to spoil it by saying what they are.
Be aware that the sex scenes are more graphic than what you might be used to; and that there is one scene of a stabbing that goes on for several minutes.
