Delta of Venus is a 1994 American erotic drama film—though it was released in 1995—inspired by the erotic story collection of the same name by Anaïs Nin. The book is not autobiographical, nor does it have a frame narrative. The movie has one, about a Nin-like American who begins an affair with another expatriate American in pre–World War II Paris, and who writes erotic stories, representing her fantasies. Some of these stories/fantasies, based on those of Nin, are explored on-screen.The film was directed by Zalman King, and stars Audie England, Costas Mandylor, and Marek Vašut. NC-17 and R-rated versions of the film exist. The NC-17 rating is due to explicit sex.[2] The DVD release contains both versions.

Plot

Set in Paris, France in 1940 in the early days of World War II before the German invasion and conquest of France, Elena Martin (Audie England) is a young American writer struggling to get by in Paris while searching for inspiration for her first novel. Elena meets and has a sordid affair with a fellow American expatriate named Lawrence Walters (Costas Mandylor). With some encouragement from her friends, her lover, and her publisher, Elena gets involved in nude modeling and progresses onward through many other forms of voyeuristic and participatory sexual adventures as she further researches for inspiration to write her book and become an author of erotic fiction.
