A true unknown classic!, 24 September 2004
Author: mesmeric from New Jersey, Earth

Very few living persons have had the privilege of seeing this cinematic masterpiece! It should be restored in a new digital print and included on the required viewing list of every film school. Like Citizen Kane, which lay hidden for generations, one viewing will change forever the way you view every other film you see for the rest of your life.

Here's a list of comparisons of Passion in the Sun with other great celluloid masterpieces:

Citizen Kane: both were filmed in black and white.

Gone with the Wind: both featured dialogue in the English language

It's a Wonderful Life: both had old cars.

Star Wars: both had scenes filmed in the desert

The Hustler: both featured human actors

Deliverance: both involved people swimming in a river

Pulp Fiction: had a Gimp, Passion had a Geek

Titanic: both featured Kate Winslet and Leonard DiCaprio.

Well, okay, that last one was a lie, but maybe they'll be in the remake.

Seriously, this is a film that is so ineptly made, so poorly acted, so abysmally written that it even needs a Rod Serling style narration at unexpected moments to help you figure out what's going on. Usually, the presence of narration is your first clue that the movie is a mess and this does not disappoint. It is so unintentionally funny for most of it's running time that those with abdominal sutures or loose dentures should only watch with extreme caution. Best scenes: a woman is being chased through the desert by a gun-wielding thug who she has seen murder his accomplice, but TWICE takes time out for nude skinny-dipping; a stripper at the club spins so fast that her secondary sexual characteristics actually achieve lift-off. Totally amazing.
