Rating: - A Masterwork of Erotic Fiction
I was prompted to write this review after seeing some of the tripe written about the film. Most so-called adult films are mindless, empty, clinical depictions of rutting and most "erotica" is childish and bland. The Story of O is different: it is literature and the film is an excellent adaptation of the novel. I read the novel first and felt nothing but satisfation on viewing the film. The director and cast bring the novel alive as it is meant to be. This story, written by a woman I might add, is not about the exploitation of women or a woman. It is not about submission to anything other than one's own love and sexuality. It is symbolic, so profoundly so, that it must touch upon our archetypes. Many might miss that through submission, O conquers her lover--totally. There is an irony here in that her lover ends up the submissive one. She taps into the infinite power of her femininity and becomes a goddess. I am not into bondage and discipline personally, yet this movie is a favorite of my wife and me. O haunts, she is supernally erotic, and profoundly feminine. The quality of the film is first class, it is well acted, and is a classic. IMO, it is a must have film. It is the only erotic film in our house--the rest just are so bland.
Rating: - A nice view of a classic piece of BDSM literature.
This video was fun to watch, and did a very good job of making the events of the book feel more solid. The drawbacks are the limitation in what can be shown, as well as the horrid 70's styles and cinematograpy. While many of the events in the book had to be skimmed over to make this film, it is still worth seeing.
Rating: - This hits a mark!
Given that censors can affect what finally makes it onto celluloid I am amazed this film ever made it into the public domain. okay, some may say its tame compared to other stuff but I haven't seen the other stuff! This film pretty much manages to capture the erotiscm of the book and when it works less well it tends to be in this places where the book falls over as well! Some scenes from the book have been cut I think but not to the detriment of the film. I expected this one to be a dog but it's not. If you like your erotica leather-edged you'll enjoy this one...
