Summary: 5 Stars
This is an amazing "movie", if you can actually call it that. Its a great soft-porn movie, if thats what your looking for.Movie Review: Erotic and Sensual!
Summary: 4 Stars
This is one of those movies that the critics slam, while viewers, despite the negative reviews, shake their heads and embrace. Delta of Venus is not only a highly erotic, art film, it has a reasonably good story line and is fairly well done, despite the nay sayer critics.
For a erogenous film Delta of Venus has excellent credentials. Based on the writings of well known erotic author Anias Nin and directed by the master of sensuality Zalman King, Delta of Venus takes place in pre World War II, Paris. Elana Martin (Audie England) was a young impressionable writer from America who is attracted to and eventually meets and starts a torrid love affair with Lawrence (Costas Mandylor), a handsome young man who happens to writer of pornography.
When Elana sees Lawrence in the arms of another, she leaves him. Eventually Lawrence leaves Paris for New York. Although she is a writer, she is not well enough known to support herself by writing so she supports herself as a nude model and subsidizing this income by writing erotica for a mysterious benefactor, who deals strictly through her agent.
Elana's initial offerings were rebuffed as not being sincere enough, however her writing improves dramatically, when she writes about her personal erotic experiences, leading her to seek out such interludes.
CONCLUSION
The movie set in 1939 Paris, just before the German invasion, seemed to be historically accurate. The sets were good and the directing was well done. In addition to some very sexy scenes featuring strong nudity, the movie also depicted a troubled city showing communist demonstrations, anti-Semitism, Nazi hooligans and eventually German occupation, There was a lot happening and it all flowed together rather well. Even without the erotica, this would have been an interesting movie.
This movie comes in both an R rated and an unrated version. I viewed the unrated version and would recommend that although I have read that only a little over one minute has been cut out in the R version.
Movie Review: Hypnotic, Mesmerizing
Summary: 4 Stars
The story is a little lacking, but the power that surrounds the main character, Elena, is amazing. The story is based on Annais Nin's book of the same title. I haven't read the book, but I am thinking I just might. Elena is an American writer that lives in Paris during World War II. Due to the depression, that was going on at that time, she has a tough time finding anyone to buy her stories. At the beginning of the film, you learn Elena's habit of writing at night and walking along the river in the morning. She goes to the river for 1 reason, a man whom she is attracted to, but knows nothing about. They meet up at a party (this is where you find out that his name is Lawrence & that he too is a writer) and start a relationship that lasts through a bit more than 1/4 of the movie. Their sexual encounters are beautifully filmed and done so that they are more sensual. Lawrence leaves to go somewhere, but I am not sure where, which leaves Elena alone in Paris. She keeps writing, but again because it was the depression nobody has the money to buy her stories. Her publisher/friend mentions trying to write erotica. Reluctantly she agrees to so for the next 1/2 of the movie you see her involved in creating stories from things that she has seen and done. The first few stories that she writes are not what the buyer wants, he wants her to make it more realistic, make it so that the reader feels that he/she is living it. This is when she explores different areas of her sexuality and uses them to create the stories wanted. Lawrence returns at the end of the movie and they end up coming back together for one last encounter on the staircase at the top of a cathedral. I have condensed this movie for writing this review. I love this movie. I couldn't turn it off even though it was past my bedtime. I have watched it many times since and still am intrigued by the story and the way it is shown on the screen. A definite must have!Movie Review: about the movie delta of venus.....
Summary: 4 Stars
What I can remember a little about this movie is that the movie in the end is something about the escape after the war broke out and what I know is that, this movie at NC17 did not contain explicit, very violent or sex sceneS. What I can say is that it contains two sex scenes inside, one is a few minutes after starting the movie and the other is at the part of the movie where it is at the staircase of the house(something like a house, don't know how people name it).
