About Power of Pleasure
Husband Christoph Clark and Wife Joy Karins go cruising for a day around the bay in their big cabin cruiser with friends and crew. Before long the hot sun has hot and bothered, with the sight of well-tanned bodies, topless in French fashion, lying everywhere, it's causes inhibitions to be forgotten. The husband seduces the nurse, Joy seduces every guy in sight and goes skinny-dipping with Isabelle, before they "share" a shower on deck. Joy's friend Laurie is given a "tour" of the engine room by two of the crew. Finally a screening of a tape of Joy turns into a full blown night of passion that they all will never forget.
Directed by Michel Ricaud, Power of Pleasure leans on a strong ensemble — Joy Karins, Laura Valérie, Christoph Clark — 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 1990.
