Author: TRACY SHACKLADY from LIVERPOOL, ENGLAND

A brilliant film - thoroughly enjoyable & well worth watching. Neil Morrisey excellemtly portrays Charlotte/Charlie, and Martin Clunes & Jane Horrocks are also great. The 80's New Romantics is well remembered,by me, and this film is enhanced nicely with the appearances of Simon le Bon, etc. PLEASE RELEASE HUNTING VENUS ON VIDEO - ITS WELL WORTH BUYIMG!
