    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      The main reason Kaige Chen was keen to make the film was because he would never have been allowed to do so in his native China owing to all the sexual content.
    • Goofs
      Alice's bra is alternately on/off between shots during the love-making scene in the library.
    • Quotes

      Adam Tallis: We spend our lives searching for our other half.

    • Alternate versions
      US theatrical version was edited for sexuality to secure a R rating. The film was released on DVD & video in both its censored and unrated version.

    Razzie material
    "Killing Me Softly" tells of a couple who has sex, gets married, and then has problems because she (Graham) grows increasingly suspicious of him (Fiennes) whom she never really got to know before the marriage (duh). On the downside, the film has a thin story full of plot holes and implausibilities with ponderous music which is always off target and a perfectly awful school girl performance by Graham. On the upside, it's a good shoot with good camera work and lots of Graham skin. Overall, "Killing Me Softly" is a classy loser only for the less discerning viewer who wants a little suspense (very little) to zone to. (C)
