SKINOPSISThem boobies got some ped-i-gree! Natasha Richardson (daughter of Vanessa Redgrave and some stuffy British dude) unveils her bald bitty bobbers a few times in this movie where she's a fertile filly sent to some rich religious dude's house to make him some babies. But, it's Aidan Quinn she wants to make babies with as she shows off her sacks a couple times in bed with him as well as just standing topless in the window... y'know for kicks. -- Rick Stanko
REVIEW
Imagine a world so closely conformed to Phyllis Schlafly's dictates that even she couldn't get out of the house. In the near future, excessive environmental pollution has sterilized a majority of the population. The ruling reactionary theocracy therefore sends fertile females to the households of the ruling elite, where they are expected to copulate and procreate for the greater glory of God and state. Schlöndorff directs Harold Pinter's adaptation of Margaret Atwood's novel, fully utilizing the consumate talents of a gifted cast. Editor's Suggestions
