Sirens

Sirens (1994) starring Hugh Grant, Tara Fitzgerald, Sam Neill. A Church of England priest (Grant) on his way to a posting in Australia is called on to try to dissuade an artist (Neill) from displaying a painting that incorporates religious themes with female nudity. The priest and his wife (Fitzgerald) find themselves nearly seduced by the painter's practices and the presence of his models, who have no qualms about posing nude. This movie has not-so-subtle overtones of soft-core porn, although it mostly just shows a few models nude. I'm only guessing, but I would speculate that it will be more entertaining for men than for women. I found it very sexy. The disc offers subtitles for the hearing impaired, as well as closed captions. Grade: B
