Crimes of Passion - 1984 * * * *


I'll be honest. I went into this movie with the idea that it was going to be pretty dire. Boy was I wrong! Kathleen Turner sizzles on the screen as the alluring China Blue, a prostitute who gives men everything they want, except herself. Anthony Perkins (whom I barely recognised as the psychotic Norman Bates from Psycho)was on top form as a manic priest out to 'save' China Blue with any means possible. Although it's not exactly a purely religious experience. The whole movie is disjointed, manic, and bizarre like a 60s acid trip, and I absolutely loved it. Cult classic? I think so.
