Review of Whore (1991) by Allan C — 10 Jul 2014
Ken Russell fans will appreciate this film, all others need not apply. Theresa Russell has been far better elsewhere but after awhile her performance started to grow on me; it fits into the completely nutty universe that Ken Russell creates (part art film, part social satire, part bawdy joke, part tragedy, part Hollywood pastiche).
It's a bit like Crimes of Passion but lacking much of that film's flair. By the way, there is no relation between Theresa and Ken Russell, as is often assumed. Whore was also their one and only film together.
It is probably the last 'real' Ken Russell movie.
