90s elegance....
This movie is a Wonderful trip back to the beautiful 90s. Sure, it's a little silly, but the imagery is really nice. Mickey Rourke and Jacqueline Bisset are great. Carre Otis, eh, but she's a stunner in this movie. I saw a clip of the Joy Bahar show of she and Carre making fun of Mickeys "Marlon Brando performance " tsk, tsk. Mickey Rourke is an ACTOR, One of the last of the Mohicans. This is a nice pieces of 90s fun. ☺️

We Liked It!
My wife and I enjoyed this film. It's a good show to watch to fan the flames of passion. The movie is about a farm girl from the mid west. She graduates law school and gets picked up by a law firm in New York and is immediately send to Rio De Janerio on assignment with her new boss. While in Rio, surrounded by a sexually charged culture, she begins to discover her own sexuality. There are a number of steamy hot love/sex scenes. For the most part it's well acted, well written, well directed. Carré Otis isn't particularly believable as a young attorney. But what she lacks in that department, she makes up for in the beautiful and sexy girl from the mid west department!

Still visually stunning
Mickey Rourke's movies have, for whatever they're worth, held up to the test of time better than the man himself has, it seems. Not that this movie was ever meant to be more than softcore erotica, it has withstood the passage of time well enough that (if one overlooks the predictable and somewhat wooden acting of two out of three leads, Jacqueline Bisset ever the exception) it is still a reasonably compelling watch even in 2013. It will never pass the Bechdel Test, but sometimes that's not really high on a girl's priority list :)

Wild Orchid- A Zalman King Classic
This is a Zalman King classic. The best film out of the trio of films that delt with simular themes. The people are beautiful, the sound track is one of my all time favoriates, and model actress Carrie Otis is easy to look at. Zalman King used influences from Two Moon Junction and 9 1/2 Weeks to provide this fans with a wonderful love story in a wonderful setting. Rumor has it, the film's opening scene had to be re-edited because the motion picture rating board (the pepole that rate motion pictures) gave this film a X-Rating. Rumor also has it that Carrie Otis and Mickey Rourke were actually making love on film. The two later married and then devorced. We can only hope that this hard to find video, and now for the first time on DVD, is the un-cut and un-edited version which has a "Non-Rating".

Funky Boring
A failed attempt at sexy art noveaux. At nearly all levels from start to finish a singularly boring under acted waste of time. If you like a lot of soulful looks, artistic nothing twists, a number of attempts at a coherent story line, a slow buildup attempt to a sexy relationship, a lot of Brazilian non essential filler nonsense, and watching a number of adults make fools of themselves, then this movie is definitely for you.If you doubt my analysis, then rent this movie before purchasing just in case I have hit this nail on the head.

Romance
Heated and lewd. It's rated R for a purpose! I'm old enough to watch it :)
