CRIMES OF PASSION is another good Russell movie.
Optimum have did a nice job of the transfer.

Is this cut on UK release?

I'm pretty sure the Optimum disc is uncut, check the BBFC site

Mate craved his Salome's Last Dance, finally got a greek dvd? cost her quite a bit as well, but it is completely hatstand as they say.
anyone seen The Rainbow btw?

it is a national shame that he isnt making decent budget films any more instead of workmanlike shite like Love, Moran , Ritchie. i despair.

Yeah, Russell's filmography in the later years is a minefield to navigate thru... the last thing I saw of his was Whore, after that things get ever so desperate. I agree with Hamish, he was a film maker who was left fall into disrepair, although he says as much in his Altered States / A British Picture book (which I would highly recommend you seek out), finding himself a pariah after the failure of Valentino...

Gothic was better than it's tarnished reputation. Might make a good Arrow release. It improves with a repeat viewing.

One for the Gothic fans... Henry Fuseli's The Nightmare from 1781
