scorpioprimus I am not a follower of the Red Shoe Diaries, so I didn't have expectations in watching this movie. That said, this has to rate as one of the better movies I have seen in recent months. It can best be described, I think, as an erotic film noir. As another reviewer commented, the sex scenes are not gratuitous but integral to the plot, with one or two minor exceptions. The protagonist DJ spins various stories of love, passion, betrayal, & self-discovery, and it soon becomes clear she is central to one of the stories. All of her tales connect in a dramatic flashback scene which drives the entire movie. The movie then flows to a conclusion that is completely unexpected, yet not totally far-fetched. There are plot holes, and parts where the viewer's suspension of disbelief gets stretched pretty thin, but for the most part this is an enjoyable and wild ride. I heartily recommend it.

stasya_night This movie is not porn so if that's what you're looking for you will be disappointed. I fell in love with this movie the first time I watched you. It is so sensuous, romantic and erotic. It is a little hard to follow if your full attention is not on the movie and I did have to watch it twice to really get it. But, oh, once you really get it it's so wonderful. This is one of my all time favorite movies. I have looked for this everywhere since I saw it on a movie channel. At first I didn't even realize that it was and "adult" movie. So it's pretty hard to find. I plan on buying this movie because I love it so much. I've seen other things from Zalman King and he really is the master of sensuous, not sexual. There is a difference. He makes you feel hot and gooey. He makes you want to have a passionate, romantic night with your lover. He induces a feeling of passion.

Sam-285 If you desire the philosophy and run-on sentences typical of Zalman King flicks, then this movie will likely be a powerful indulgence of that desire. If you want to see beautiful women, then this movie is a good one. If you expect to see naked women typical of Zalman King flicks, then this movie will disappoint you.The majority of the movie consists of dribble from a couple of woman radio personalities. It is provided in the low, mildly delimited run-on sentences that I have difficulty concentrating on. Many of the women are very pretty, especially the immensely sexy Jaqueline Lovell, but guys are not likely to see them the way they expect to considering this is a Zalman King flick.

mg-19 Boring. Even for fans of Zalman King's earlier works, this film might be hard to swallow. You have the usual amount of gratuitous sex and nudity, but it's cobbled together behind a strange story of a young girl's druglord family, who grows up to be a blind, pirate radio hostess, telling stories about sex and intrigue. However, logic holes abound.For one thing, her story-telling follows a beatnik rhythm that, without the video portion, would not make much sense so the only people listening would be insomniacs or those infatuated with her voice.Also, scenes flash and scream, reminiscent of X-Files or Millennium, adding a very unsettling quality to the imagery. This is a total turn-off because you think less about whether a couple would get together, but whether they would be hideously murdered somehow.The stories don't really follow each other and just end and begin suddenly, with each lasting maybe 12 minutes or so.Eric Clapton is known as "slow hands", and Zalman King could be called that as well, except for one important point: Eric Clapton writes good songs.
