CRIMES OF PASSION: 30TH ANNIVERSARY
WED | JULY 2 | 7:30 PM | West Hollywood City Council Chambers at West Hollywood Library
Outrageous filmmaker Ken Russell courted controversy once again with this wildly stylish and erotic thriller from screenwriter Barry Sandler (MAKING LOVE). Kathleen Turner in the same year as ROMANCING THE STONE shook up her screen image with her indelible performance as uninhibited sex worker China Blue, whose sensuality hypnotizes both a suburban husband (John Laughlin) and an unhinged street preacher (Anthony Perkins, acting with the brakes off). Still surprising and deliriously over-the-top after three decades, this cult classic will be followed by a discussion with Sandler and members of the cast and crew. Also starring Annie Potts and Bruce Davison. 112 minutes.
Actor John Laughlin is scheduled to appear in the Q&A, alongside Barry Sandler. --------
