Young Adam

Director: David Mackenzie
Cast: Ewan McGregor, Tilda Swinton, Emily Mortimer, Peter Mullan
A drifter takes a job on a barge owned by a married couple, and he wastes no time in having it off with the missus (or any other woman with a pulse). But how does a dead body found in the river tie in with the story? This may be a commentary on loveless people, but these characters are very difficult to love. The film also gives a new meaning to the term "gratuitous sex". Adapted from Alexander Trocchi's novel.
