Synopsis

Based on an encounter with a real-life dominatrix, Barbet Schroeder's controversial story of a Paris prostitute specialising in bondage and sado-masochism was refused a certificate on its original release. The film features graphic scenes of torture and fetishism which the BBFC in 1976 described as 'miles in excess of anything we have ever passed in this field'. Only released at the time in a handful of club cinemas, in 1981 the film was cut by almost five minutes and finally awarded an X certificate.

WARNING: This film may contain explicit sexual scenes, strong language and violence.

    The dungeon scenes are just so realistic and totally how it still is today.
    It is as if these scenes had a different Director.
    The rest of the movie feels a little dated.

    The twisted and humorous story of a dominatrix who attempts to conduct normal relationship whilst carrying on with her risqué business. Really entertaining and well worth a rent
