INDIA is an exotic mixing pot of iconic wildlife, secret locations, epic landscapes and colourful beauty. This iconic and landmark series is a celebration of India’s most spectacular locations and incredible wildlife. From the "home of snow" in the epic Himalayan Mountains we travel to the mighty River Ganges, lifeblood of India as it carves out its dramatic path across the subcontinent. We also reveal Thar, the “Great Indian Desert”. Its territory includes much of Rajasthan (“the desert state”), where the bleakness of its environment is juxtaposed with the striking colours of traditional Rajasthani dress and amazing wildlife spectacles Also featured is India's lost world of the north east, home to head hunting tribes, tiger infested forests, mountains not yet climbed, rivers waiting to be fished. And finally to the Western Ghats. This biodiversity hotspot is home to epic waterfalls, hill tribes, hidden caves and stunning wildlife.. Part 1: Thar Desert Sacred Sands Covering 200,000 square kilometres, India’s Thar Desert is one of the harshest places on the planet. Baking heat, desiccating winds and near permanent drought has earned this unforgiving land another name – “the region of death.” As we explore India’s great desert we unveil its hidden secrets, and ultimately shed light as to how the Thar has become the most crowded desert in the world. Part 2: Ganges River of Life The Ganges is the longest river in India. It flows from the glaciers of the world’s highest mountains, the Himalayas, to the largest bay in the world, the Bay of Bengal. Human pollution threatens to overwhelm the river, but somehow wild animals survive. Hindus believe that Ganges water has the power to purify, and it seems there is some scientific evidence to support this conviction: microscopic organisms actually eat bacteria that could cause disease, and uniquely high level levels of oxygen break down organic waste faster than any in other river. This self-cleaning property of Ganges water helps support some of the last remaining true wilderness in the world – the Sundarbans swamp. Here, India’s largest population of wild tigers have never learned to fear man, making them very dangerous neighbours. Part 3: Himalayas Surviving the Summits Outside Asia, no peak reaches above 7000 metres, but along the Himalayan range, over 100 mountains exceed this height by at least 200 metres, making it the tallest mountain range on the planet.As Earth meets the sky along this hostile terrain, powerful winds, sub-zero temperatures, and a lack of oxygen oppose virtually all forms of life, but remarkably, this immense geological feature somehow supports one of the largest and most diverse collections of creatures on the planet – including man. While the Himalayas rugged highlands offer little direct refuge to humans, in the shadow below, over a billion people in India rely on the mountains for survival. Part 4: Western Ghats Monsoon Mountains Stretching for a thousand miles along India’s west coast, the Western Ghats are a spine of mountains that lay claim to being one of the most bio-diverse places in the world. Mountains rear their heads into the path of monsoon clouds, intercepting rains and making the western slopes some of the wettest places in India. Tropical rainforests thrives, and explode with life. The Western Ghats hold the key to life across southern India. Rainwater harvested by the mountains washes down to the coast, feeding Kerala’s backwaters; huge rivers flow east across India’s dry interior, a lifeline to animals and people. Part 5: Indias Lost World Imagine a lost world – head hunting tribes, tiger-infested forests, unclimbed mountains, pristine rivers. Known as the Seven Sisters of India, there are seven relatively unexplored and isolated Indian states. What mysteries lie within this secretive land and why have they remained untouched for so long? North-east India is an anthropological paradise; there is no other place on Earth with so many different ethnic groups. The forest slopes are filled with mysterious tribes whose lives are dictated by the ebb and flow of the rain and the seasonal fruits of the forest. In these largely unexplored and isolated areas people scarcely known to the Western world continue a way of life steeped in ancient rituals.
迷人，温馨，适合被改编成舞台剧。赐人愉悦真乃本事和美德。当真身暴露后的矛盾把平静的水面掀翻后，你才会意识到一开始的舒缓，轻柔就是迎着破碎而来的。艾玛汤普森演的仿佛是每个女性时时刻刻面对lustful desire的切面，否定自己的念头，否定自己本身真的很不可爱。你可以有很多很多清单要完成，但认可当下自己才是壮举。悦纳自己的欲望真是一件舒服的事情，两个人没有义务捆绑的探索真是迷人，谁也不需要知道更多一些。能相遇真好。片尾咖啡馆的一场戏也是神来之笔，Becky这个角色写得真好。
四段见面，破碎的灵魂碰撞后慢慢修补，治愈后相忘于江湖，很美好~人人都想身边有个里奥吧！！！
3.5，很好笑，艾玛汤普森很棒。因为想要精简场景完全靠对话推动，故事难免有点刻意，有些地方也难以让人信服。男主也太可口了
人生不是考试，人生是即兴的舞蹈……相信大部分女性都需要这样一堂性教育课，只是去哪找那么温柔的应召小哥啊？
都说没什么好的女性向porn，看，这不就有了嘛
Emma Thompson太迷人了 腹肌电眼翘臀的年轻男孩固然可口 但有趣又有型 每道岁月痕迹, 每个眼波流转都能瞬间传递万千情绪的global treasure才是无可取代
剧本太加分了，四次见面，认识自己，面对自己，欣赏自己。
轻巧、讨喜、深邃、充满情欲之余又搞笑。现在就想问问男主这样服务人员几多钱一个钟。
谁不渴望一份不带羞耻的性满足，一些手指拂过大腿的试探，几句私密的共情，和一颗eye candy
So white so cliche woke feminist shit 太白了，太虚伪不踏实了 sex is not divine! sex is just fucking sex
女演员拍裸戏需要投入多少勇气或者信念，这个年纪的女演员大概还需要数十倍！
全片都是富有「戏剧感」的室内戏，这种形式其实格外难拍，再加上「欲望与性爱」的母题早已泛滥，但这部实确实极好：人物设置张力十足，对话witty（全场笑声不断），节奏精妙，从身体的触碰到精神的疗愈，四次会面使人物关系与影片深度层层递进，影片将SEX的「日常性」(as a daily life act/pleasure)与「象征性」(as a representation for lust, love, power) 完美交织，女性在「性」中的困境被细腻描摹，极为真实动人。即使对与女主完全不同的女性观者（我），也能激起不同层面的情感共振。也想到之前看过的另一部难得展现老年女性的性欲的佳作——《女继承者》。
3.5分吧，主要立意是讲女性终于鼓起勇气接受那个充满欲望的自己，这部分讲得很好，但是对提供性心理疏导服务的男性，刻画得就很欠缺说服力，那样的表达方式和行为都更像是纯粹的女性幻想，本质上和对“霸道总裁”故事一样，都是从虚空里构建的。所以其实也让这个故事的救赎意味变得经不起深想了。所以最后还是要靠让观众和性压抑的女性产生共情，才能把意义接住。这样的思考当然是很值得做的，只是太小心翼翼了，要真诚地谈论性和欲望，用这种太注重整洁的方式，是不是仍然什么也没打破呢？
低成本空间，高密度台词，循规蹈矩的压抑，和唯一冒过的险，最终还是取悦自己更重要。妙在选角本身的气质，换掉其中任何一个人，这个故事就不成立了。
一个又真诚又像童话的故事，情欲探索的电影可能最怕的就是虚伪，搞来搞去最后都是一些做作的互相理解和彼此尊重。这个故事也让我重新思考了“人要互相看见”这些说法背后的真正的代价。界限分明的幻想乐园崩塌了，但导火索也不是非得要是“不受控制的浪漫爱”，渴望真实渴望对方完整，这也会关系里的脆弱一览无余。想想其实人可能到老也不知道一段关系到底可以承受什么，但只要真诚，总会有机会可以一起抵达深处。
你还是需要攒一笔钱，去完成一次越级的消费，才能突破边界。
最松弛的一刻，才能抵达高潮。于是对老年生活充满了信心
。
「我觉得，这整个理念的意义要比这个大得多，试想一下，如果它对所有人都适用，没有任何羞耻感，没有任何评判，那将是多么文明的事情。」为数不多女性视角的「性心理学探究」，摒弃了男性群体在两性研究中的主导地位。固定空间内的剧情发展由大量的对话构成，看得出剧本基础非常强大，Emma Thompson的台词功底与表演技巧深得我心。只是尺度，没有我想象中的大（虽然我也承认后面几分钟我看了好几遍）。
打着情色的标签，结果居然是一部温情的话痨片。所以究竟是身体上情欲的吸引更让人着迷，还是彼此挨着的耳边絮语和倾听更迷人？又或者是两者都密不可分？最棒的是最后Nancy和Leo都获得了解放。
