It’s simply shocking, appalling and sickening. One bed scene even involves Barbara with Tony’s lover, then Tony joining the two in bed. The audience is exposed to homosexual activity, sexual promiscuity, excessive nudity, and graphic adultery between Barbara and Tony. The movie follows their lives from 1946 to 1972, as the Baekeland’s pursuit of social distinction and the glittering good life propels them across the globe.
