The over 25-year-old "Chris Isaak: Wicked Game" is a 4-minute live action short film, actually a music video in black-and-white and this one stars singer Chris Isaak and actress Helena Christensen having obviously a very close (also physically) relationship. At the same time we listen to Isaak sing. I would say that nothing really stood out about this pretty short film. Nothing is really really bad either, but looking at the IMDb rating here, I honestly expected something more memorable here. But it really isn't. I am baffled by how much awards attention this one scored. I guess the aspect of erotica and temptation was enough for that. But I expect more, at least a very basic background story and not just love-making at the beach. I also don't really understand what is "wicked" about this game. Was one of them cheating? Anyway, thumbs-down overall. Not recommended.
