Highly recommended, try to search for it, and buy it if you can. Putzberger 30 December I got talked into seeing this movie years ago by some pretentious friends, wasn't all that impressed by it, and insulted it gratuitously on the walk home from the theater.
It's not very well-acted, the plot is incomprehensible inasmuch as it even exists, and the sex scenes, explicit and implicit, are nowhere near as titillating as the title or promotion would suggest. But somehow I remember this movie with near-perfect clarity over a decade later.
The structure is fascinating -- I'd never seen a narrative structured as a progression of random encounters.
And even if no scene is particularly compelling and no character is especially distinctive, the movie manages to be thought-provoking.
Since every scene is obviously intended to depict a seduction, you start to wonder about the nature of attraction and power relationships. On a cinematic level, New York looks pretty, Linda Fiorentino is hot, the gay boys are all handsomely lit, and Malcolm McDowell is an embarrassment to the art of acting. Stop now before you hurt someone else. It's too bad this little seen gem of a film is almost impossible to rent -- it's a real winner.
From it's sexy and provocative style, to its pulsating score, this is a film made with real commitment and passion. Chain of Desire is life and love on the steamy streets of New York, told through couples who lead us to other couples.
It's a modern day La Ronde, but it never feels like a rip off -- it's original, romantic and downright hot. Linda Fiorntino is, for once in her career, vulnerable and sympathetic. Director Lopez has drawn beautifully nuanced performances from all his cast. And what a cast! Some of the freshest faces, that even 10 years later hold up. Anyone that has ever spent a hot summer night in New York will love this film. It's a love letter to the city that never sleeps, but more importantly, it's a testament to the spirit and permissivness of late 80's and the people who survived it.
A beautiful, sexy and haunting film that I saw at least five times in a theatre. Everyone I dragged to it loved it as much as I did. A sensual masterpiece.
