Red Shoe Diaries (1992)Directed by Zalman KingDoomsy’s Rating: 57/100I’ve said it before, but I just love 90s erotic thrillers. They’re so stupid and so Freudian, and so completely blunt in their admittedly conscientious sexual politics, they’re impossible to dislike. Red Shoe Diaries is no exception, and it’s helmed by the great Zalman King who was, was wait for it, king of this genre. Between him and Greg Dark, there were dozens of nearly identical, dumb as hell but entertaining Skinemax flicks with pre-X Files David Duchovny just chewing the scenery. This film is definitely a time capsule to an era where cable TV was not a capitalist enterprise, but an edgy, subversive area where adults could watch other adults fuck with goofy scores and over-the-top orgasms. This is definitely worth a watch if you’re a fan of erotic thrillers and/or Duchovny. Oh, and keep an eye out for Matt LeBlanc in an early role as a burly bloke with a coif and a leather vest (No, he does not get naked) -- source link
