Turkish Delight (1973)
Director: Paul Verhoeven
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
An expensive excuse for a love/sex/death porno exercise. Sculptor falls in love with a spoiled rich young thing who is too young and full of sexy life to live, so a brain tumour happens along. Young sexy girls grow up to lose their bloom, and the only way the media mythology can deal with its own limitations is to kill them off while they're still young and beautiful, and use them as an excuse to make a pseudo-philosophical statement about love, life and decay.Author: MV
