Director Clark abandons the subjective camera and stylized look of previous Asia Noirs for an impressive, ingeniously constructed story film, objectively shot. The film within a film element is expertly done.

Asia goes to a matinee at a semi-deserted L.A. grind house. On screen is A Lust Supreme, a tragic love story starring Tia Tanaka, with Guy Di Silva as a mobster running Asian whores. Asia has her own lust encounter in the theater with two black dudes. Good sex throughout, with lots of extra-long blowjobs.

Pre-noms: Best Ethnic Release – Asian.

Retailing: This unique series has its fans – they'll want it.
