Synopsis

Gerard Depardieu is a Parisian burglar who one day breaks into a flat which turns out to be the working quarters of Ariane (Bulle Ogier), a professional sadist who serves as dominatrix over a stable of wealthy masochists. Rather than turn him in she convinces him to stay on as her assistant, and the two eventually become lovers. Incidentally, Ariane's customers (all masked) are played by well-heeled Parisian masochists who paid a great deal of money for the privilege of appearing in the film. Not a bad way to finance a movie. In French with English subtitles. Barbet Schroeder---France---1976---112 mins.

The director of SINGLE WHITE FEMALE here gives us a kinky tale of a young Gerard Depardieu and his relationship with a dominatrix. Her trade is amply displayed in the movie, as is the slaughter of a horse in a slaughterhouse, whose flesh becomes Gerry's din din.There are some lovely shots of Paris streets and French countryside and a memorable scene of sex while driving a car (not recommended for your Sunday motor trip). Depardieu looks great, and if the above description seems like your idea of cinema magnifique, go for it.
