Preaching to the Perverted

First of all, let me say that I know nothing about the S&M scene in London or anywhere else for that matter. But from an outsider's viewpoint, I enjoyed this film a lot. Guinevere Turner was stunning and a great dominatrix, the film was fresh and funny, an interesting, amusing take on somewhat of a taboo subject. The film was on the whole a visual feast with good direction but not without its bad points. Christien Anholt as Peter was appalling. He simply cannot act. Lucky for him, there was so much else going on. The script is a bit clumsy and the ending a little anti-climatic but who cares when the film itself is so much fun? Extra credit for getting some great bit-part roles from Ricky Tomlinson, Sue Johnston and Roger Lloyd-Pack (Trigger from "Only Fools and Horses"!).

when i went to see this at the cinema there were 2 of us watching it. we specially went to see it because i'd heard about it. it's a romp. a farce. a british film. it's sexy it's funny it's amusing it's erotic it's a way to forget your troubles for a few hours. if you like the idea of the fetish scene then watch this movie, but don't let it make you think that the fetish scene is at all like this. it's fairly close. watch and enjoy.

Gorgeously shot. There's a lot more going on here than just the SBDSM. The performances are solid and the story is funny and even a little touching. Big recommend.

preaching to the perverted is i.m.h.o. an excellent film, one of the increasing number of well made british films that never really got anywhere (pity). A film that addresses the issues of censorship and consenting sado masochism you would think that it was all a little on the serious side, not the case, it manages to raise more than a few laughs along the way. The direction is superb with colour imagery being used very successfully throughout the film to bring to the for many of the topics that the film is trying to deal with. all in all worth a watch.

Excellent movie. made even better (for me) by recognising people in it from around London. It was shot in what (used to be at the time) was my local nightclub - heaven - and featured dancers such as Enzo, and Heavens' resident drag queen Kimberley.

Great sound track, fine storyline, very sexy lead characters, and a cheeky sense of humour. Look out for a pink prop in every single scene.
