About Rites of Passion
Veronica Vera takes us along with “Mr. Morality” as he goes to the TV studio to tape his weekly message. He instead finds himself traveling through his mind’s lustful secrets as revealed by sexy Nina Hartley. A timely and humorous piece. Meanwhile, Annie Sprinkle shares with us the autobiographical story of a woman whose search for fulfillment leads her through wild sexual adventures until she discovers ancient lovemaking secrets brought to her by a mysterious adonis-like “master.” An auto-biographical tongue-in-cheek journey, the story features Jeanna Fine as a jaded woman who finds fulfillment when hunky guru shows her the joys of Tantric sex.
Directed by Veronica Vera, Annie Sprinkle, Rites of Passion leans on a strong ensemble — Nina Hartley, Jeanna Fine, Annie Sprinkle — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 1987.
