Papaya: Love Goddess of the Cannibals

In this exotic, albeit exploitative, gem, Melissa Chimenti shines as Papaya, a tropical beauty who leads her people in resistance against the construction of a nuclear power plant on their Caribbean island. As sociocritical journalist Sara (Sirpa Lane) becomes entangled with the project's engineers and Papaya's secret society, she finds herself torn between a passionate romance with the rebel leader and an erotic obsession with the film's titular love goddess - a tantalizing, dreamlike world where softcore and body horror blur.
