Black Venus (1983)
6/10
It's a classic!

Black Venus tells the story of a young Caribbean woman in 19th century Paris and the sculptor who is both inspired and tormented by her.

This is apparently based on a story by Honore de Balzac but, to be frank, I didn't watch it for my culture fix. If I explain that the young lady who plays Venus is a former Miss Bahamas and that she spends a lot of the film wearing less clothes than some clothes (as do assorted other fetching young ladies), this may go some way towards explaining my limited interest in this film.

Josephine Jaqueline Jones as Venus is an attractive screen presence in every respect. Jose Antonio Deinos as tormented artist Armand is perfectly dreadful.
