Review

Tease (1999) is a made for HBO film starring Rosanna Arquette, Jurgen Prochnow and Mandy Schaffer which IMDb has named Poison, and doesn't even mention the actual title. Shaffer is Arquette's daughter, and is very possessive of her mother. She kills her father hoping her mother will have more time for her. Arquette returns from winning an Oscar for best supporting actress, and confesses to the killing so her daughter won't suffer. While she is in prison for involuntary manslaughter, Mandy latches on to her teacher, and gets the teacher’s fiancée out of the way.

Arquette is released, picks up Schaffer, and heads to the vineyard she has purchased with her partner, Prochnow. Schaffer still resents anyone who spends time with her mother. The scenery is breathtaking. Acting is very good. The plot is a little predictable, unfortunately. This was evidently a German production. The camera work and vineyard and water settings give a reason to see it once. C-

Nudity Report: From an exposure standpoint, the highlight is not nudity at all, but pokies from young Schaffer. There is a double in a hot tub scene near the end who shows buns and breasts. Her teacher is also nude in a sex scene that is too dark to do anything with.

IMDB Summary: A handful of IMDb readers say 4.1 of 10, which is about what this slow moving and predictable effort is worth.
