Review of Delta of Venus (1995) by Jordan O — 19 Jul 2007

Zalman King is a virtuoso in the realm of erotica and this film is no exception. One of my favorite movies hands down. Each time I see this fail to understand how it could have gotten such terrible reviews.

Perhaps critics just don't want to admit to liking something so openly sexual. The human race is so prudish its pathetic. I could go on at length about this stunning work that continues to amaze me twelve years after seeing it for the first time, but suffice to say that it succeeds on every level, proving, like the text from which it is based, that sexual gratification and the stories of those who seek it can be also be art of the highest order.

And Audie England is radiant throughout.
