She is watched. She is worshipped. And she must remain a mystery. Fashion designer Joanna Crane (Kathleen Turner) leads a double life. By night she is China Blue, a prostitute who's attracted the unwanted attention of two men. One is a sexually frustrated private detective hired by her employees. The other is psychopathic priest (played by Norman Bates himself, Anthony Perkins) in possession of a murderous sex toy. With its outré screenplay by Barry Sandler and over the top score by Rick Wakeman, Crimes of Passion may just be the most outrageous Ken Russell film ever made and that's quite some feat!

Ken Russell is one of the best authors for me, as he can truly look at human needs and desires in a bizarre way. The way he portrays it in his films, how crazy they are, yet he manages to keep the plot together brilliantly, is simply unique. Here, it's also complemented by excellent performances by the lead actors.
