Kama Sutra: A Tale of Love (1996)
This is, at heart, a classic story of love, rivalry, power, and revenge, but it's told through the vibrant color and culture of 16th century India. The costuming especially is gorgeous and appropriate for the various characters. It's relatively explicit, but much like South From Granada, the sexual content and nudity are important to the story. It is called Kama Sutra, after all, though that book only figures into the plot a little. And although it's unintentional, the movie does sort of give elephants a bad name.
I've listed it as Foreign, even though it's in English, since IMDB lists the official country of origin as India.
My Netflix rating: 4 stars
