Crimes of Passion in UK
« Reply #1 on: June 23, 2025, 09:03:19 AM »
The Cinema Museum in London present Crimes of Passion on 23 July 2025.

"Controversial on release in 1984, the erotic thriller Crimes Of Passion proved to be a turning point in Ken Russell’s career. Screening from a 16mm archival print, this is a rare chance to see Kathleen Turner’s fearless performance as a Reagan-era businesswoman who moonlights as a sex worker.  But this is no mere tale of a fallen angel, as Russell heightens the religious anxiety, psychic repression, and visual splendour to deliver a fantasia of late-20th century anxiety".
