The Erotic Shades of Zalman King, Part I
American erotic film pioneer Zalman King died in February at the age of 69, and the release in March of his first major screenwriting success – a film version of Elizabeth McNeill’s autobiographical 9 1/2 Weeks (1986), directed by Adrian Lyne – seems like the perfect opportunity to both review the film and begin a sporadic look at King’s oeuvre as a filmmaker, with a lengthy Editor’s Blog / tribute to the marginalized oddball.
