Background
The title is taken from
Franz Liszt 's compositionLiebesträume .Much of the movie, especially its external shots, was filmed in
Binghamton ,New York . The plot centers on a building with acast iron frame, and Binghamton's downtown area includes one of the few cast-iron buildings still standing.When Mike Figgis' 1991 erotic thriller "Liebestraum" made its VHS debut, it was in two editions — the R-rated theatrical release and the unrated director's cut. Now the film is making its DVD bow as part of MGM's Avant-Garde Cinema series, but only in a single, R-rated edition. However, the deleted scene that marks the difference between the two versions is included as a bonus feature.
