Donald Cammell's Wild Side

Duration:111 mins
Director: Donald Cammell
Starring: Steven Baur, Christopher Walken, Joan Chen, Anne Heche

Bruno Buckingham (Walken) is an international money launderer who has need of the talents of Long Beach bank executive Alex Lee (Heche). But Alex offers more than the usual counter services – she also moonlights as a $1,500-a-night call girl.

Little does Bruno realise, however, that she’s also caught the eye of his beautiful wife Virginia (Chen). Bruno’s chauffeur, meanwhile, is setting out to blackmail Alex – and isn’t at all what he seems to be. This noirish, erotic thriller was the fourth and final film by Scottish director Donald Cammell (his debut was PERFORMANCE – which he wrote and co-directed with Nic Roeg); tragically, he committed suicide when arguments with WILD SIDE’s producers led to the film being substantially recut against his wishes. This restored version was released by Tartan in 2000 to critical acclaim.
