Details Movie Rated: R; Genres: Drama, Erotic

BUSINESS FOR PLEASURE Jeroen Krabbe, Caron Bernstein (1996, Artisan, 90 mins., R) Straight from the ever-expanding Zalman King soft-core collection, boardroom bombshell Isabel (Bernstein) must — through unspeakable contortions of plot — sleep with a tycoon's attache to close a deal and save 5,000 jobs. A predictably absurd awakening occurs, but like most Skinemax flicks, the sex is lustless — rendering the movie's tag line (''Sexier than your wildest dreams'') literally laughable. REEL GOODIES (0:44) Bernstein has sex while hanging out of a helicopter. Seriously. THE LAST DETAIL Krabbe has since recovered his footing, turning up in everything from An Ideal Husband to NBC's The Odyssey miniseries. D
