Forbidden Cinema - 28 - Wild Things

Come back with us to 1998 where we discuss a movie whose lurid details were discussed in hushed tones at the lunch table.  Imagine it is senior year.  Half of the class is over 18 and can get into the movie and share forbidden tales of sex, money, betrayal, and murder to the rest of the class.  We watched Wild Things.  This was a movie who's marketing said "Come for the girl-on-girl action, stay for the twists and turns."  We break it down for you and find that while it is confusing, it actually does feel a little smarter than you would expect at the end.  And also, Bill Murray is in this thing right as he is about to be discovered as one of the true treasures in film and culture.  Snuggle up somewhere warm, put your oversized cordless phone on do not disturb, grab some popcorn, and don't forget to look over your shoulder for the inevitable betrayal.
