I watched it after Bryan Fuller said his concept of Hannibal season 4 would be based on it. I thought the premise was really interesting, the execution was lacking. Mickey Rourke is such an underrated actor. He chose such bizarre and sexy films to lead in the 80’s.
Definitely a very flawed film, but the strangeness that made it to production is wonderful. I'm glad you've seen it, I was starting to wonder if I had imagined it 🥲
It’s pretty great, for sure. Along that same vein, loved “9 1/2 Weeks” and “Boxing Helena”. All born out of that decently budgeted surreal late 80’s/early 90’s drama era. “The Passion of Darkly Noon” too.
Boxing Helena was the inspiration for one of my/our most vile fics (it was co-written). It’s a clumsy movie too, like Angel Heart, but the concept is outrageous. I think you’d like it a lot.
