Kama Sutra: A Tale of Love

Date undefined

Released in '97 the exotic, sensual and visually alluring `Kama Sutra: A Tale of Love' is an intoxicating story detailing the intense, complex intermingling sensations of romance, sexual attraction and obsession as played out in a royal family in 16th century India.

I began my viewing of `Kama Sutra' with no personal knowledge or expectations concerning this film. What unfolded was indeed a pleasant surprise. The Indian landscape, architecture and costumes, the mesmerizing soundtrack and the captivating storyline are everything an audience could ask for. While you may not recognize the names of any of the cast, possibly with the exception of Naveem Andrews, the acting is excellent.

While the production receives high marks in every category the ultimate success or failure of this film rests solely on the shoulders of its star Indira Varma in the role of the lovelorn courtesan. Indira brings the story alive both with her stunning beauty as well as her thoughtful and passionate performance.

As one should surmise from the films title there is strong sexual content so be forewarned. Let me just say that the sex sequences are done beautifully and tastefully.
