Passion's Desire

The film revolves around a weird love square - if that's even such a thing? - between a publisher, his live-in girlfriend, the other person living in their house (a high school friend of the publisher's who is masquerading as being a lesbian but actually has feelings for him - and the publisher's ex-girlfriend, who is an erotic author, writing basically fictionalised reality on her relationship with the publisher. There are a lot of "almost" sex scenes in this film, but none that ever seem to follow through to a conclusion, so it isn't that much of a softcore movie (as it was marketed) and not much of a thriller, either. Problem is, you only find this out by watching. Pretty bland stuff, even when you consider the genre.
