re. Pleasure Principle

Really, Peter's beautiful. But how you stomach this movie I'm not quite sure. I'll keep watching...

You just said it - Peter's beautiful.

In terms of how I stomach it... well, I do find the story line interesting as I've come across a few men that have 2 or 3 women on the go. Although, if I was the one woman he was dedicated to (wanting to eventually settle down and have kids, etc), I'd probably be spewing that he'd shag other women at the same time.

But really, its a simple fact: PP is Peter's georgous abilities on display. Need I say more...

Wow, I'm learning so much from this thread! Just discovered the Pleasure Principle and am watching it!

Aint he just! I've actually found Peter now to be more attractive compared with his earlier work until watching PP. How smooth does his skin look? Silba

re: Pleasure Principle. Not PFs worst. Not his best. I could see the potential in it. He has some nice moments especially with the Sammy character.

As a movie, I thought it didn't really know what it wanted to be: a s*x farce, a romantic comedy, a relationship drama or a blue film. As far as stomaching it goes, some of the "blue" scenes worked well and seemed to have a point. Others seemed like filler to get the movie to 100 minutes or to illustrate the PLEASURE PRINCIPLE. More (spoken/plot) script and better direction would have served it well. I think the producer/writer/director should have stepped back from the directing and concentrated more on the writing because there were some really nicely written moments buried in there.

And PF has a lovely tushy. That is the important part. Cool

Can't say I really concentrated on the plot aspect of this film. All I know is that I had a stupid big grin on my face pretty much throughout. Smile

But you're right, the director could have made a lot more of this. I really loved the scene in Sammy's house after the kids party (been there, though sadly not with a gorgeous visitor offering help over and above the call of duty). Also loved the very funny and realistic retrieval of the wheel from the stream, and the plot idea had a lot of potential. PF also made a very natural and lovely dad - I wondered if those might be his sons? But things like the idiot ex-husband and the moronic policemen were just odd, and the Charlotte character was useless (never thought that woman could act - only good at pouting).

However, this film will definitely be living in my guilty pleasure box and getting frequent outings! Blush

I'm glad to see I'm not the only one with the stupid grin. PF is definitely a very beautiful man.

The policeman really was the most ridiculous character, I don't honestly see the point of his character. Huh

But I did like the scenes between PF & the idiot ex-husband Yahoo

Definitely a guilty pleasure this film I think. Well I for one very much enjoyed seeing a naked PF Silba

There was a plot which could have been so much better if the writer/director had of put more thought into it. I rather think the writer/director was hoping the large amount of nudity would carry it through which was a shame because it could have been brilliant

Just found a great little clip on YouTube featuring an interview with PF from 1985 about his role in Letter to Brezhnev.

Peter's interview is about 1 min 30 into the clip

Here's the link:-

That was a delightful clip, thank you. PF's voice was just verging on the public schoolboy there - where did that come from? Sounded really cute!
