| - | == Synopsis == | + | |
| - | After her much older, wealthy lover dies following an intense session of [[sadomasochism|sadomasochistic]] sex, [[dominatrix]] Rebecca Carlson ([[Madonna (entertainer)|Madonna]]) finds herself charged with his murder. Desperate for freedom, she slowly seduces her attorney, Frank Delaney ([[Willem Dafoe]]), and embarks on a dark and dangerous affair with him. | + | |

| - | This story has a lot in common with ''[[Basic Instinct]]'', another erotic thriller about a sexually charged woman accused of murdering her lover midway through sex, and who then goes on to seduce a troubled law enforcer. | + | |

| - | == Reception and controversy== | + | |
| - | The film was almost universally panned by critics and was nominated for a record six [[1993 Golden Raspberry Awards|Golden Raspberries]], including "worst actress" for Madonna, which she won. It also appeared on the [[2005]] list of [[Roger Ebert]]'s most hated films. The screenplay and performances were especially disparaged. | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | ''Body of Evidence'' also exacerbated an already burgeoning controversy about Madonna's frequent association with [[pornography]]. Before its release she had already published her [[soft-core]] [[coffee table book]] ''[[Sex (book)|Sex]]'', and the film features her and Dafoe performing graphic scenes of simulated [[rape]], [[cunnilingus]], [[anal sex|anal]] and [[public sex|public intercourse]]. | + | |
