Crimes of passion

Zbrodnie namiętności · dir. Ken Russell
USA 1983, 107’

In this film, Russell superbly guided the leading actress ― Kathleen Turner who played a double role. By day, she is a known and respected designer; no one knows that after dusk, she becomes an exclusive prostitute named China Blue. Double life always poses risk, which Blue quickly comprehends. She meets a demonic cleric, whose obsessive goal is not saving her soul, but annihilating the sinful flesh. Crimes of passion is a dangerous game verging on erotism, fervent faith and violence.
