Stewart Fox (Forsythe) is the self-styled “World’s Greatest
Erotic Photographer,” but to paraphrase Elton John, “Stewart’s candle burned
out long before his legend ever did.” There
was once a time when he was a top-line entertainment photographer, specializing
in rock stars — hell, he may have even done a photo shoot for Elton John back
in the day, but he’d be hard press about now to remember doing so.
Drugs, booze and a world-weary view of
been-there, done-that have left him wondering what’s the point. Even his wife, Donna (Ursula Brooks — Daybreak, Full
Frontal, etc.), who puts up with quite a bit — imagine naked women
being photographed in your living room — is at her wits’ end.
The solution comes in the unexpected form of Wade Ward (Shaun
Sipos — Lost Boys: The Tribe, The Grudge 2, etc.) — an “art school
student” — who is recruited to photograph and document Stewart at work … all
for a biography about his life.
Therapy right? An
excuse to get the “World’s Greatest Erotic Photographer” out of his funk? Well, yes and yes, but a sudden moment of
clarity takes some unexpected twists and turns as he delightfully says to his
new protégé, “I’m going to enjoy corrupting you.”

Images of Russ Meyer, Tinto Brass and Radley
Metzger — masters of their craft — spring to mind when you see Forsythe walking
the walk … and talking the talk (great lines from Madsen).
