Venus in fur

Venus in fur

This two-hander from Roman Polanski is adapted from the stage-play by David Ives, and set continuously in one location – a theatre auditorium in Paris. Here we find a harassed director auditioning actresses for a new version of Venus In Furs, the Sacher-Masoch novel about sexual submission. Soon, he is to be drawn into a strange psychological duel with a very talented applicant for the lead role. Venus In Fur plays with the subject of sexual role-play, the games we all play, illusion and reality, and directing as a sexual act.

French with English subtitles.
