Unrated. Uncensored. Including Newly-Restored, Never-Before-Seen Footage! 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 recently 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.
~ Anchor Bay Website
Fashion designer (Kathleen Turner) lives a double life at night as a $50 hooker. She is stalked and terrorized by a preacher (Anthony Perkins), while a married man (John Laughlin) slowly falls in love with her. Amid all the sleaze, kink, (which is all very necessary to the plot of the film) and talk lies an intelligent, thoughtful film. You are never able to take your eyes off Turner who is absolutely spellbinding. Perkins plays crazy like no one else can. And Laughlin and Annie Potts turn in frank, honest performances. Director Ken Russell is able to create colorful characterizations and generate memorable dialogue. The very 80's score falls perfectly into place in the film and the ending is among one of the most shocking in cinema history. A masterpiece in every respect and one of the most under rated films of all time.
