14. Crimes Of Passion
Ken Russell's Crimes Of Passion might not have the artistic clout of a film like Belle De Jour but it's still a worthy addition to a collection of films which explore the world of BDSM and is worth watching for Kathleen Turner's performance alone. Turner plays Joanna Cray, a woman who moonlights as a prostitute by the name of China Blue and finds herself involved with a string of clients with bizarre sexual fetishes. As lurid and over the top as is to be expected from Russell (a director who appears to have had the word "subtlety" removed from his lexicon) it's satirical elements might be heavy-handed but if you're after a trashy yet entertaining film then you'd do worse than to watch Crimes Of Passion.
