synopsis
EROTIQUE (German title: LET'S TALK ABOUT SEX) is a collection of three shorts by three filmmakers: "Let's Talk About Sex" by Lizzie Borden, "Taboo Parlor" by Monika Treut, and "Wonton Soup" by Clara Law. Three award-winning directors take an elegant and erotic journey from Los Angeles (Borden) to Hamburg (Treut) to Hong Kong (Law) with a unique female perspective. Daring to live out their fantasies, three couples search for adventure and fulfillment and creatively expand their horizons through their sexuality.

In TABOO PARLOR, Treut's contribution to the film EROTIQUE, two stunning women, Claire and Julia, are in search of adventure.

reviews
"It's Monika Treut's 'Taboo Parlor' that makes EROTIQUE stand out. Cheerfully playing with gender, sexuality and traditional sexual roles, Treut's tale of two predatory lipstick lesbians who cruise an archetypal straight man before fucking him in every sense of the word had the Castro audience on its feet and cheering .... The stuff of straight porn turned on its head with wit, daring and aplomb, 'Taboo Parlor' makes EROTIQUE unmissable." Gay Times, August 1994

"Sexual positions that make the Kama Sutra look like childs' play ..." Chicago Sun-Times

"Fasten your seatbelts for this journey into the female sexual psyche....." Los Angeles Times
