Erotique (1994): cast, story & where to watch

Released in 1994, Erotique is a drama film directed by Monika Treut, running about 93 minutes. “An erotic journey as seen through the eyes of women” — that tagline sets the tone.

What it’s about. Four women filmmakers examine sexuality in this anthology. Segment 1 is entitled "Let's Talk About Sex" and is the story of an aspiring actress whose day job is as a phone-sex operator. Tiring of listening to callers' fantasies, she finds a caller who is willing to listen to hers. Segment 2 is called "Taboo Palor" and tells the story of two lesbians, who, for variety, pick up a man for sex. He ends up getting more than he bargained for. Segment 3 is "Wonton Soup." Here an Australian-Chinese man tries to rekindle his affair with a Chinese woman by returning to their roots: both in the kitchen and in the bedroom.

Who’s in it. Erotique stars Claudia Ohana as (segment 'Final Call'), Robert Kotecki as Casting Agent (segment 'Let's Talk About Love'), Priscilla Barnes as Claire (segment 'Taboo Parlor') and Michelle Clunie as Slave #1 (segment 'Let's Talk About Love'), among others.
