A darkly hilarious, wildly erotic satire of Hollywood
King B., the worlds most admired filmmakerwinner of a string of Oscars and awards from Cannes to Venicetakes on a new project: the most expensive, star-studded, high-quality, X-rated film ever made. He joins forces with producer Sid Krassman, whos made a fortune with B movies, and Angela Sterling, a misunderstood sex symbol who longs to do serious work. After convincing the principality of Liechtenstein to host the production in exchange for a distribution exclusive to boost tourism, King B. and Krassman arrive with cast and crew to make The Faces of Love. While keeping the nature of the film secret from American bankers, King B. lines up a host of European and American big-name stars. But word leaks out to the local religious groups and possibly even the Vatican. Between the Cardinals attempts to sabotage production and the big egos and even bigger libidos behind the scenes, the enterprise plummets into hilarious anarchy.
Blue Movie is comic eroticism at its bestpopulated by over-the-top characters, memorable dialogue, and perverse vignettes, and colored by razor-sharp insights into the film industry.
