| Customer Reviews: Average Rating:  Rating : - Crossing the line. Carried Away is ultimately a cinematic treatise on the dangers of crossing that line no man should ever cross, but a line that so many tiptoe upon either in reality or imagination. Dennis Hopper's character is an aging, bored teacher in a rural farm community. His life is predictable and the only question that still stirs within it is when he exactly intends on marrying his long-time girlfriend (Amy Irving). Things take a sudden change when a new student arrives in town, brining with her a willingness to seduce her teacher, if only to keep herself entertained while living in the new but overwhelmingly drab town. He, although sheepishly at first, falls prey to her advances and within a short period of time, finds his life is complete and total disarray. A solid film, but the gratuitous nudity was a bit forced. + See Full Customer Review |  |
