SKINOPSISQuestion: Have Liz Hurley's tits gotten a little bit smaller over time? We're not knocking or anything, she's always had a fine pair, but the milk sacks she shows in this mix of classical music and naked chicks are seriously large... like Uschi Digard-large. Anyway, we were pretty sure we were going to hate this one. The last time a chick tried to drag us to the opera, we wound up pulling a knife on her. A butter knife, but still. But, if all opera were like this dirty little artsploitation gem, then you could sign us up for a box at the Met. A very young Bridget Fonda shows her tits and ass during sex and a suicidal bath scene. These two chicks named Valerie Allain and Marion Peterson get completely naked trying to distract some weight lifters and show their incredible asses as well as their fur patches and delightful tits, and this lady named Linzi Drew (hot spelling) shows her rack on a hospital bed. Even if you hate classical tunes, just watch this shit on mute, it's totally worth it. -- Rick Stanko

REVIEW
A sensual explosion of sight and sound, Aria is a bold and adventurous collage of vignettes inspired by the greatest opera arias of all time. Ten of the finest and most innovative contemporary filmmakers (including Robert Altman, Bruce Beresford, Jean-Luc Godard, Derek Jarman, Nicolas Roeg, Ken Russell, Julien Temple) were asked to choose their favorite operatic arias and create a short interpretation of the music, independent of the original libretto. The result is a series of mini-masterpieces filled with tantalizing imagery exposing the raw emotional power and deeply erotic nature of opera. Editor's Suggestions
