  • Quite kinky Rodney?

    Rated - 3.0 stars

    [Highly rated reviewer]

    Does anyone else think that G?rard Depardieu and Rodney from Only Fools and Horses are one and the same? I suggest you check this film out because I think they may well be.

    Someone gets their nob nailed to some wood, which isn't cricket and there is lots of other beastliness. Found it kinky and tame at the same time.

  • Weak storyline but may be worth watching....

    Rated - 2.5 stars

    THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS Show review anywayHide

    I watched this film out of curiosity as a female friend had recommended it to me (!)

    I do like Monsieur Depardieu in most things - and it was good to see him in an early performance.

    The storyline is very weak but the background about how a dominatrix operates was quite interesting.

    I found the ending a little confusing but overall it was o.k.

  • A good French film

    Rated - 4.0 stars  
    By idontwantnickname (46 reviews) from Tadworth , 08 Jul 2010
    As with most French films, this appears slow at first, but once you've adapted to the speed of plot and action, it is very rewarding. It tells a story well. Not a great film, but engaging and enjoyable, believable and eventually rewarding. Much more satisfying than many blockbusters.

    Rated - 4.0 stars

    The scenes whip through almost every conceivable sexual humiliation with humour and candour, exposing the cliche of rich, powerful men needing to be abused.

    The wardrobe by Karl Lagerfeld is exceptional in the case of the dominatrix, with a theatricality

    that is balanced by Depardiu's bland attire - apart from the finely cut suit that she buys for him.

    You could almost think you are in Ayn Rand territory - who is Jean Gautier ?

  • Ok if you have nothing else on.

    Rated - 3.0 stars

    It was all right. I enjoyed it though didn't really follow the end or the involvement of one particular character, but then I'm not the smartest.
