Review

I have no idea what Zalman King was thinking of when he made this. I am normally a fan of his, but this is the most pretentious, and least erotic thing he has ever attempted.

Sally Kellerman is a night DJ, and introduces her niece, who runs a pirate radio station in the back of an 18 wheeler. The niece tells the story of 3 women (one of them being her), as one of her colleagues sings songs that Zalman owns the rights to. The three women in the tales are an heiress, a comedienne and a law student.

The law student has a crush on her boss and is something of a voyeur. The comedienne is offered a role in a film that requires nudity, and isn't sure she is up to it. The heiress is the daughter of a drug lord who killed her mother, her brother, and her boyfriend. So, the entire film is voice-over, competing with music that is too loud.

There is actually not that much exposure. There were a lot of women who briefly got naked, both identified and anonymous. To make things even tougher, the film is dark and grainy, and Zalman uses the same dissolves, quick cuts and strange lighting that Red Shoe Diaries is full of. Very little information is available on line. Apollo hated it, and I agree completely.
