Visions of Ecstasy (1989)
Country: GB
Technical: col 18m
Director: Nigel Wingrove
Cast: Louise Downie, Elisha Scott, Dan Fox
Synopsis:
Inspired by the crucifixion, St. Teresa inflicts her own palm stigma and is driven into an erotic frenzy. Submitting to bondage at the hands of her actualised psyche she imagines herself coupling with the Christ.
Review:
As if himself irritated by the expurgation of the celebrated 'rape of Christ' scene in Ken Russell's The Devils, Wingrove conducts this blasphemous fantasy of breasts and lipstick on a closed set with his 2+1 cast. Edited like a soft porn featurette, it delivers a frisson of scandal while earning him a rejection by the BBFC.
