Synopsis
"Kathleen Turner gives theiperformance of her life. Grade: A" -Entertainment Weekly

By day, Joanna Crane (Kathleen Turner) is a prim workaholic fashion designer. At night she becomes China Blue, a kinky hooker on the streets of Los Angeles. But when she finds herself being followed by a private investigator (John Laughlin) and stalked by a fanatical preacher (a truly over-the-top performance by Anthony Perkins), Joanna's depraved double life threatens to explode. In a world ruled by mad passion and holy obsession, can one woman survive the most dangerous emotion of all?

Annie Potts and Bruce Davison co-star in this landmark adult thriller directed by the inimitable Ken Russell (Tommy, Altered States, Women In Love) that became one of the most controversial films of the decade. Crimes Of Passion is now presented in a razor-sharp new widescreen transfer and features discovered deleted scenes as well as shocking footage of graphic sexuality (including the notorious 'night-stick' scene) not contained in the original U.S. theatrical version.

Empire Review
Better but still needs work - 3.5 out of 5  (3/8/2002)
CRIMES OF PASSION is a film that confuses many people. It either is known as a film of powerful genius, or it's known as a horrible piece of crap with some of the worst acting ever seen. But a lot of that confusion came out of the story behind the film. Director Ken Russell set out originally to make a film that showed sex as power. The ironic twist to that statement is that he never was allowed enough power to show the film he wanted. Stories range that the film was cut anywhere be   more >>

A Wild Adult Masterpiece!! - 4.75 out of 5  (2/10/2003)
Finally after years of neglect.Ken Russel's underrated cult classic comes to dvd in it's original uncensored form.It's even the longest version ever released compared to the previous Unrated version which ran 5mn shorter while the butchured R version ran only 100mn! The film is a wild wonderful & unique journey on the dangerous side. It tackles in a sometimes campy,sometimes serious way issues about love,sex,feelings & connection. China Blue seems to be pushing away from a real relationship   more >>
