Pleasure at its Sensuous Best in `Audrey








Kim Shaw plays Audrey just right.  Attractive and impetuous, believable and approachable.  There are a few shenanigans that round out the dramatic story, such as the annoying turns of the cooking show hostess and Audrey's dress-down to panties, bras and apron.  But the thrust is how food, like sex, ought to be experienced with full attention, depth and sensuality.  Sight, smell, taste and touch.  Inevitably the lines between food and sex are blurred for those who believe it's simply "food porn" and see the former as a not-so-subtle metaphor for the latter.  But, for me, it's about human pleasure at its elemental, sensuous best.
