Uh, no. It's soft-core porn, period. Good soft-core porn but porn none-the-less. Along the lines of David Hamilton films but even more explicit than Hamilton and much more sex and nudity. And, hey, don't get me wrong. As porn, I liked it...mostly lesbian scenes. But to call it "art" because of the Kama-Sutra theme is, well, just silly. Take out the sex scenes and it's not really such a good movie. To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'
