"Basic Instinct" is a murder mystery, which has already caused an outcry from gay rights activists. Michael Douglas is the policeman on the trail of writer Sharon Stone, whose plot lines have a nasty habit of being re-enacted with murderous consequences.
"Lost in Siberia" is an Anglo-Soviet production starring Anthony Andrews as an innocent archaeologist, imprisoned on suspicion of spying.
