Review

A milestone of cinematic eroticism, The Story of O was an art house sensation in 1975, and it's still worthy of intelligent discussion. As with the controversial French novella by Pauline Réage, reactions to Just Jaeckin's sumptuous adaptation range from moral outrage to masturbatory indulgence, yet this remains one of the few sex films that stand the test of time (and a lot of academic study). Championed by practitioners of bondage and discipline and vilified by feminists, this metaphorical "love dream" (as Jaeckin has called it) follows the beautiful fashion photographer "O" (Corrine Clery) as she, like many gorgeously naked women before her, is "trained" for a seemingly satisfying life of love and discipline, her freedom sacrificed to the man (Anthony Steel) whom she willingly obeys. The debate whether Jaeckin's feminine-empowerment ending, which differs from that of the novella, justifies a story of humiliating submission is just one more reason why The Story of O endures. (Note: This DVD presents the 97-minute version of the film, edited by the director to improve pacing and not for purposes of censorship.) --Jeff Shannon

Release Note

In a strange secluded chateau a woman know only as O (Corinne Clery) is introduced to sadomasochism by her lover: he whips her chains her and watches her make love to and beat up others. In the process of "proving her love" for him she gives up everything- even agreeing to be branded -- to provide him with pleasure. This adaptation of Pauline Reage's best-selling erotic novel was directed by Just Jaecklin (EMMANUELLE).System Requirements:Running Time: 98 minutesFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: MATURE/ADULT Rating: NC-17 UPC: 880934123392 Manufacturer No: SOM-DV2339
