A better production than Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown but less kooky and funny... more serious in a way. Plus, a great sex scene. The Criterion disk comes with some great extras, including a various interviews plus some other fun footage.

I love his mid-period stuff: Live Flesh, All About ..., Talk to Her, but could never really get into his comedies like Tie Me Up, and the later stuff seems a bit hit and miss too.
