UCLA college student Jonathan Moore (Anthony Edwards) is playing a game called "Gotcha" (popular on mid-1980s college campuses as "Assassin" or "Tag"), wherein the players are all assigned a mock "hit" on another player by use of a harmless paintball gun. Moore and his apartment roommate Manolo go on a vacation to Paris, France. After touring some of Paris, in a cafe Moore meets Sasha Banicek (Linda Fiorentino), a Czechoslovakian girl. Eventually, Jonathan has intercourse with Sasha, losing his virginity.
Jonathan decides to leave Manolo (who is heading to Spain) and go with Sasha to West Berlin to spend more time with her. Jonathan believes that he is in love with Sasha. There, Jonathan and Sasha continue to have sex and even go to an Oktoberfest beer gathering. One night, Sasha tells Jonathan that she has to go to East Berlin to pick up a package. One night after arriving in East Berlin, Sasha leaves their hotel room and walks to dark street corner. There, Sasha meets a German man who tells her the location of the pickup of her package. Meanwhile, Sasha was being monitored by a Soviet agent, who was sitting in a car at a distance. During the day, Sasha tells Jonathan that if she gives him a certain message, it means that he has to leave East Berlin immediately. At a cafe, Sasha gives Jonathan a package and says that a strudel is inside. A little later, Sasha tells Jonathan to meet her at the butcher shop near their hotel. All of a sudden, a Soviet agent begins to chase after Sasha. Sasha decides to use Jonathan (who is holding her package) to unknowingly get the package over to West Berlin. Meanwhile, Sasha is taken by the Soviet agent and East German secret police.
Jonathan goes to Checkpoint Charlie to cross the heavily fortified border into West Berlin. At the East German customs search, Jonathan is stripped of his clothes and given a cavity search. Meanwhile, Sasha is stripped and searched for possible espionage evidence. Vlad arrives at the border crossing to search for Jonathan, however Jonathan passes the border safely before he can be captured. Once in West Berlin, Jonathan feels liberated by the Westernized society. In the hotel, Jonathan receives a message from Sasha to meet him at a specified location. Jonathan finds out that his hotel room was broken into and robbed of his traveler's checks. Soviet agents eventually find Jonathan in West Berlin and chase him throughout a public park. Jonathan jumps into a water canal and manages to escape from the Soviets and stumbles upon a German rock group headed for Hamburg, who offer him a ride to the airport.
The rock group successfully get Jonathan to the airport (using full-face makeup to sneak him past a checkpoint) and Jonathan finally arrives in Los Angeles Tom Bradley International Airport and to his apartment. Soon, Vlad and a band of Soviet agents arrive too in Los Angeles. Once home, Jonathan stumbles upon a film canister, which was planted by Sasha. Jonathan visits his parents and tells them what happened in Germany but they cannot believe a word of it and think Jonathan is on drugs. Jonathan decides to call the FBI then the Central Intelligence Agency for help. Jonathan returns to find his apartment broken into and looted.
The CIA officer tells Jonathan to give them the photo film canister. At the Los Angeles headquarters of the CIA, Jonathan spots Sasha who looks like she was working there. Jonathan eventually meets up with Sasha. Sasha admits that she is Cheryl Brewster, a CIA agent, originally from Pittsburgh. Out of nowhere, Vlad and his gang begin to chase Jonathan and Cheryl on the UCLA campus. Jonathan eliminates all the Soviets with a tranquilizer gun which he gets from the campus veterinary sciences building. The Soviets are arrested, the CIA agents thank Jonathan for his (indirect) help in obtaining the film, and Sasha tells him she wants to continue their relationship.
After they part, Jonathan talks to a pretty student who rebuffs him coldly. As she walks away, he aims the tranquilizer pistol and shoots her in the rear.
好温情的对谈，一个女人不断探索，发现和解放自我
我也跟南希一样从来没有喜欢过自己的身体，总是知道它哪里有问题，粗壮的大腿，肥胖的肚子，总是难以相信自己是性感的或者值得被爱的。哦，我看确实应该吧利欧这样的年轻男人当做政府福利发放给每一个自卑而缺爱的女人。这男演员太帅了连他的口音都那么性感。
非常推荐！！虽然看的是英文字幕，没有完全百分之百get所有内容。 但，特别是最后十分钟一定要保持期待，保持惊讶，保持包容，保持惊喜！！ 就像orgasm，前面的探索与铺垫都是为了最后的come，但如果没有那么多耐心与包容，最后的惊喜/震撼也不会一下直戳到心里。 不用在这里赘述，前面具体的都讨论的哪些问题（母子关系，性工作者职业评价，教师职业定位，女性身体权利……）等真的这些都一一吊着胃口铺垫完成，最后10分钟就是所有惊喜降临的时刻，理论与实践结合，完成了一种绝妙的前后自洽与体验闭环。 不论当做一部爽片，或者具有教育意义的片子，都非常可圈可点。辛苦
PS. 电影看到三分之一处就决定看完要推荐给两个好友，而电影最后Nancy也向她觉得真正有需求的好友推荐了Leo哈哈。
人总是给自己很多的束缚，却又渴望冒险，最终形成了矛盾的个性。冒险完懂得自洽和欣赏自己是一个美好的过程。
leo的眼睛真的太好看了！那些对话慢慢抽丝剥茧出面具下的两个人。Emma这个真的是登峰造极的表演...啊~pleasure~
想看莎莉霍金斯也来演演这个角色
就因为读了化学硕士，变得predictable和boring？offended！！
三星半。年长女教师与健硕青年性工作者的四次约会，让两人的关系从性事，转向幸事。前三次约会中的大量对话，一方面从心理层面分析着两人的社会属性成因，另一方面也为第四次约会的情绪变奏做着坚实铺垫。艾玛·汤普森的表演能力太过了得，几个看似不经意的肢体动作，就令影片焕发灵动之感。
简单精悍，一个电影就一个场景，俩人（后面增加了一个场景和另外一个角色感觉略显鸡肋）力求只把一个事讲清楚，是我喜欢的
剧本、演员和调度好到，就算充满了标签化的表达，还是忍不住非常、非常的入戏！男主太迷人了！
一边胃疼一边看完了这部期待已久的电影，但是看得入神我都忘记了胃疼，结束之后痛觉仿佛才回到身体里。绝绝绝！果然需要治愈心理疾病才能迎接生命的pleasure。追求什么完美呢，快乐最重要，对吧？

很有趣，讲述一个退休教师，寡妇鼓起勇气斥巨资请来一位高帅的性工作者完成之前在婚内从没有实现的性探索。
后半段不太行，当然一个这么小切口的片子在故事落点上要寻求一点普世价值讨论也不是不能理解。艾玛汤普森棒。
Emma在这部戏里面贡献了她的“灵与肉”，值得重看的一部电影，二刷要学习一下里面的高级词汇。#20220627
男菩萨渡女苦主到达极乐彼岸的故事。这种唠闲嗑式电影会放大演技的瑕疵，如果表演不到位人物就立不住，故事里的张力和关系也都会不成立。但Emma Thompson 演得太好了！如果不是她，这个角色不会这么令人信服和共情。轻盈有趣，四星推荐。
事实证明再简单的剧情和场景还是可以不断挖掘出小惊喜的，两个人的内心世界通过台词不断得以展现，电影在单调的场景内也尽量控制住了节奏，让整个人物和剧情显得愈加有趣立体以及丰满。
从讨论性工作合法与否开始令人不适。剧本直到结尾都有点搞笑，我想也许是因为片中角色并不是妓女。另外，果然无论东西，老师都很爱用“荡妇”一词形容学生啊。
美好的人，有幸遇到了美好的人。即使是“买-卖”肉体的关系，男性往往也是 lead 的一方，而女性也要经历一个艰难的、探索主体性的过程，并且很难将男性彻底物化，当作一个完全工具性的存在而加以利用，总是试图从中寻找某种深度的联结。
