"… a kind of high-tech, fast-paced, Moulin Rouge for the fetish world. A virginal computer geek with political aspirations is sent by a politico on a moral crusade to infiltrate bisexual Turner's sex-glam-shock world. Preaching is a timely film; the European court recently upheld the British government's prosecution of consenting gay S/M men, thus making S/M illegal in Europe. Despite that, Preaching never seems particularly political. Film highlights include chicks with bells on their crotches, tons of naked bosoms, a beautiful lesbian slave, S/M dykes yelling "cunt power," and Turner as an anti-penetration, clit-ring-bearing work of art who rages against straight vanilla sex. No wonder it was banned in Ireland. "
