Perhaps King's best work as director was the 1995 film Delta of Venus based on the book by Anais Nin and starring Audie England. The film about an American girl living in Paris in 1939 is in many ways reminiscent of European art house films where erotica forms a centerpiece to a plot which is nevertheless about greater issues.
