In 1989 when Wild Orchid was released I was just 19 and this was the very first sexy film I watched. Compared to any movie released these days (without even being labelled erotic) in Wild Orchid sex scenes are really minimal and not so explicit but the eroticism from this film comes from the implicit lust that emerges from the dialogues and the looks. From director Zalman King (Red Shoe Diaries, Two Moon Junction) Wild Orchid, recently released on Blu-ray in a Dual Format (Blu-ray & DVD) edition for the first time in the UK, is a tale of sex, passion and erotic taboos set against the backdrop of the rich and powerful.
