The Center of the World
The Center of the World tells the story of Richard, a rich but lonely young computer who offers Florence, a stripper $10,000 to spend three days in Las Vegas with him. Florence accepts, but with certain rules: no penetration, no kissing on the mouth, no talk about feelings, and she 'works' only from 10pm to 2am.

Utilizando o sexo como ponte para estudar seus personagens, o diretor Wayne Wang cria um filme interessante, mas não totalmente satisfatório.

Enough to send you running from the theater, yawning.

Retains the dreaded essence of voyeurism dressed as art.

Wang is working on your mind, not your body.

The characters aren't very interesting, caught in a cycle of sex and rejection that while explicit, gets a little tiring.

There's something numbingly predictable about Wang's whole approach.

...rings with a perfectly hollow pitch that's a digital video punch to the solar plexus.
