Attorney Ned Racine's life coasts along in neutral - until he meets a siren in white (with a well-to-do husband) named Matty Walker. Ned knows Matty's the kind of woman a man would kill to be with. So he does. William Hurt and Kathleen Turner strike sparks in Lawrence Kasdan's Body Heat, a sexy, haunting tale echoing 1940's film noirs but changed with an energy and passion that can only flare in the 80's.Kasdan's assured directorial debut foreshadows the emotional textures he would bring to later films The Big Chill, The Accidental Tourist and Grand Canyon.
Sit back and bask in this contemporary classic's wicked warmth.
