Review: Nice little version of the famous Venus in Furs story. I suspect a lot of peple will find it a little bit too arty and slow for its own good (which it is), but the atmospheric black and white cinematography is pretty nice. Also, it does a great job in capturing the sensual masochistic world of Leopold von Sacher Masoch, which is (according to Deleuze at least) the exact opposite of the sadism of Marquis De Sade (compare this film with Pasolini’s ‘Salo’ for example and you should get an idea of the differences between masochism and sadism (S/M is more or less a contradictio in terminis according to this theory).
