Wild Side

This film has Christopher Walken playing a creepy villian- enough said. But, as if that weren't enough, a lesbian love scene between Ann Heche & the astonishingly sexy Joan Chen....a film that has this to offer almost doesn't need any other reason to exist, let alone a plot. But the plot is pretty entertaining, too- near perfect weekend at home popcorn movie.

Word is that the director's cut--pieced together after the director's suicide, triggered in part by the studio taken the film away from him--is actually good. That is most definitely NOT what I saw. Terrible in the most flamboyant possible way, it's kind of a hoot to watch, But, god, is it ever bad. Worth seeing for Christopher Walken's wig alone... and his ass-raping of Steven Bauer.

Considering its tumultuous and tragic history, its not surprising that its a messy film. Essentially a chamber piece between four people with much more sex, it features Christopher Walken at his best/weirdest and a sexual relationship between two women that actually has some depth to it. Also if you have a cinematic bucket list and wish to see Walken attempt the maddest way to profess his love to someone involving buggery, see this film.

A snoozefest, despite the rough and lesbian sex scenes.

The film has the worst audio I've ever heard. There's so much static it's like they were filming in a water fall! It's only truely redeeming quality is the fact that Anne Heche shows her boobs several times in this film.
