SHE IS WATCHED. SHE IS WORSHlPPED. AND SHE MUST REMAIN A MYSTERY.
In the earIy eighties British enfant terrible Ken Russell travelIed to America and pIaced his unorthodox imprint on a pair of US movies. The first was the Altered States, so out-there its screenwriter disowned it. The second was the equalIy crazy Crimes of Passion, starring KathIeen Turner (Body Heat, Serial Mom) at the height of her powers.
Fashion designer Joanna Crane (Turner) Ieads a doubIe Iife. By night she is China Blue, a prostitute who s attracted the unwanted attention of two men. One is a sexually frustrated private detective hired by her empIoyees. The other is psychopathic priest (played by Norman Bates himself, Anthony Perkins) in possession of a murderous sex toy.
With its outré screenpIay by Barry Sandler and over the top score by Rick Wakeman, Crimes of Passion may just be the most outrageous Ken Russell film ever made and that s quite some feat! |
