Brian de Palma’s Passion, an American remake of the French erotic thriller Love Crime, screened at this year’s Toronto International Film Festival to mostly dreadful reviews. The film, a throw-back to ’80s thrillers, is about a beautiful business woman’s ill-fated manipulation and seduction of her naive protégé.

While there may be some truth to the TIFF reviews that say the film feels dated, critics appear to have missed its one triumph: star Noomi Rapace goes nude and shares a lesbian sex scene with costar Rachel McAdams.

Sure, Rapace can be seen naked in the Swedish film trilogy adaptation of Stieg Larsson’s “Girl with the Dragon Tattoo” books (AKA: “The Millennium Series”), but de Palma reintroduces Rapace to our penises sans mohawk, tattoos and piercings… and for that I say thank you.
