Body Heat - 1981 * * * *


Kathleen Turner yet again captures the screen in this sizzling and hot film noir in colour. William Hurt, a lawyer gets caught up with sexy femme fatale Kathleen Turner who is supposedly caught in an unhappy marriage. The 2 begin a passionate affair and Hurt decides he will do anything for her, even commit murder. This film just oozes sexuality and heat. You can literally taste the stifling heat in the city as the men from the office stop off in coffee bars to have lunch in their 50s style shirts and smoke their vintage cigarettes. There is something about this film that looks strangely dated. But in a good way. This is the best modern thriller/noir movie I have seen in a long time.
