Paul Cox goes back to the Man of Flowers well only instead of Alyson Best posing nude it's Nicholas Hope (which is maybe why he film didn't do as well, sorry Nicholas) and instead of cultured Norman Kaye watching he's a model for a sculptor (Victoria Eagger who was Chris Haywood's lover in Flowers) who is gay. She's working for Claudia Karvan the nepo daughter of pharmaceutical dude Chris Haywood (very funny) who is doing it for a tax deduction. Gosia Dobrowlska is Hope's wife and is into a new age guru Norman Kaye.
Some nice comedy courtesy of John Clarke, with easy yet funny jabs at the art world. Lovely odd touches like Wendy Hughes in drag and John Hargreaves as a sleeze in a gallery. Karvan is very sexy and disrobes as does Dobrowlska. The plot were basically women are made horny by being roofied (Karvan, Dobrowlska, Haywood's secretary) hasn't aged well.
I didn't like this as much as I once did back in the 90s but it has charm and a lovely musical score.
