No desire is forbidden

1994 · 104 min · ★ 4.8 · Comedy, Romance

No desire is forbidden in this twisted suspense-comedy about a group of sexually ambivalent 20-somethings living in the Hollywood Hills. Kevin shares space with a male stripper, a girl who dreams of becoming a rock star and an orphaned teenager -- and none of them pay any rent. But after another renter falls to his death in a drunken stupor, Kevin's landlady -- who also happens to be his mother -- threatens to evict him.
