Delta of Venus is a 1994[2][3] American erotic drama film directed by Zalman King and starring Audie England, Costas Mandylor, and Marek Vašut.
It is inspired by the posthumously published 1977 short story collection Delta of Venus by Anaïs Nin.
Elena meets and has a sordid affair with a fellow American expatriate named Lawrence Walters.
With some encouragement from her friends, her lover, and her publisher, Elena gets involved in nude modeling and progresses onward through many other forms of voyeuristic and participatory sexual adventures as she further researches for inspiration to write her book and become an author of erotic fiction.
The short story collection by Anaïs Nin on which the film is based is not autobiographical, nor does it have a frame narrative.
