I think this movie is best remembered for Mathilda May walking around the entire movie completely naked. While it did wonders pulling in the barely post-pubescent males, the lighting director and Mathilda actually did wonders with the attitude of the character. At first look, a well-developed completely naked beautiful woman is very attractive, but she did an amazing job with her cold stare and indifferent demeanor to offset the sexual appeal of the physical form. I think it may be the conflicting stimuli that caused the chill in those folks who saw the movie with more than Mathilda's body parts in mind.
