REVIEW
A somewhat thin plot takes a backseat to the eccentricity of its characters, a darkly witty script and outrageous visuals. Daring to explore the underworld of fetishism and domination and challenge the establishment, Preaching to the Perverted remains grounded with the perfect touch of humor. The plot itself reads like a bad cable sitcom. God-fearing Christian Peter (Anholt), working for the British Parliament, infiltrates a sex club run by the very hot New York dominatrix Tanya Cheex (Turner). Naturally, the two begin to fall for each other, despite their very conflicting natures. The film attempts to turn the tables on social convention, questioning what perversion truly is and criticizing the hypocrisy of the powers that be. The imagery itself is stunning, remaining appropriately trashy while not ever taking itself seriously. You’ll catch at least a glimpse of just about every type of kink you could imagine (high-voltage genital torture anybody?). Yet even the most twisted and seemingly ridiculous acts are handled in a very tongue-in-cheek manner, balancing the extreme sexuality. -- Paul James
