It's too bad this little seen gem of a film is almost impossible to rent
-- it's a real winner. From it's sexy and provocative style, to its
pulsating score, this is a film made with real commitment and passion.
Chain of Desire is life and love on the steamy streets of New York, told
through couples who lead us to other couples. It's a modern day La
Ronde, but it never feels like a rip off -- it's original, romantic and
downright hot. Linda Fiorntino is, for once in her career, vulnerable
and sympathetic. Director Lopez has drawn beautifully nuanced
performances from all his cast. And what a cast! Some of the freshest
faces, that even 10 years later hold up. Anyone that has ever spent a
hot summer night in New York will love this film. It's a love letter to
the city that never sleeps, but more importantly, it's a testament to
the spirit and permissivness of late 80's and the people who survived
it. A beautiful, sexy and haunting film that I saw at least five times
in a theatre. Everyone I dragged to it loved it as much as I did. A
sensual masterpiece. ....
