CONTENT WARNING:

A campy chronicle of the lusts and loves of the men and women who work on a low-rent TV show called, “The Love Judge.”

This film is presented in English with English subtitles.

Set in a working TV production office, this film follows a team producing a low-end, tacky soap opera. Executive producer Jo is leaving, and emotionally vulnerable Mark is up for the job. He’s stressed over the anniversary of his lover’s death from AIDS and by his crush on Bill, who has just broken up with his girlfriend. The tension is compounded by the homophobia of the executives upstairs and by the secret erotic skirmishes behind closed doors. The TV they produce becomes the characters’ mirror, and the film is a satire, but one that is much more than parody.

This preposterously affected bodice-ripper is set in a raunchy harbor town teeming with sexually aroused and confused transportees. One such is brooding Lawrence Hayes (Kevin Smith), pouting sweatily like a refugee from a Levi’s ad. Opulent dressmaker Dorothea Brook (Jennifer Ward-Lealand) enlists his help to save her opium-addicted sister from the sensual, callous fop Fraser. Nostrils flare, lower lips quiver, impossible skirts trail over checkered floors, uncorseted bosoms bounce, sex of all preferences is simulated—climaxing with the lesbian lovers happily walking into the sunset. “Dares to be bad and succeeds quite splendidly.” - Time Out UK

n a town called Hope on the edge of Britain’s empire, desperations clash: the beautiful Dorothea Brook is desperate to free her pregnant sister Rose from the clutches of Fraser, a fortune hunter. A local politician, William Poyner, is desperate for cash and thinks marriage to Dorothea will save him. Dorothea hires Lawrence Hayes, a rough but handsome Argonaut, to bribe Fraser with jewels and to marry Rose; Hayes desperately loves Dorothea and may marry Rose to stay close to her. But Dorothea has a lover, the ravishing Anne Cooper, who encourages the match with Poyser to give the lovers cover. Are these remedies, each desperate in its turn, going to make anyone happy?

This piercing modern fable entwines the lives of a beautiful adolescent girl, a predatory femme fatale, a wheelchair-ridden critic, and a once-successful novelist. That is, until the lives of the three women and one man are simultaneously shattered. Wreaking sexual havoc is brash Lane (Marcia Gay Harden), whose mercurial allegiances with her friend, lover, and a teenage nymph named Angela (Caitlin Bossley) sow frustration and paranoia, forcing a dramatic confrontation fraught with erotic tensions.

On the way to interview a novelist, Lane and Christina are involved in a car crash which leaves literary critic Christina brain-damaged. Lane undertakes the assignment and becomes attracted to the novelist’s 15 year old daughter, leading to stormy emotions.
