Review of Exotica

Exotica (1994)
4/10
Much style, little substance
29 May 2020
Francis spends his evenings at Exotica, an up-market strip club. He is particularly fond of Christina, of the strippers. However, Eric the DJ / MC of the club has strong feelings for Christina and is extremely jealous of the attention Francis is giving her. A clash between Francis and Eric is inevitable.

Arty but empty. Plot is pretty basic and around this writer-director spins several drawn out semi-erotic scenes that are devoid of any substance. The whole film just seems massively padded with nothingness and is quite dull. Even if you're just there for the erotic aspect of the film, it's pretty tame.

The ending ties up a few of the plot strands in the movie and makes some sense of things but even then its not very profound nor powerful.
