4.0 out of 5 stars intelligent, August 31, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Seduction: The Cruel Woman [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Probably one of the few interesting and intelligent movies ever done about SM. The actors are good, and the psicology of the characters is well defined and coherent with their involvement in the story.

The only problem is that the movie is a bit slow and sometimes boring, but still worth watching.

This review is from: Seduction - Cruel Woman (DVD)

I cannot imagine an audience for this movie. It is flat, disjointed, with poor production qualities. It smacks of a film trying to be really artsy, but it fails miserably. If you enjoy confusion and disjointedness, this is the movie for you. Otherwise, keep looking.

4.0 out of 5 stars Female Domination, August 27, 2003

This review is from: Seduction - Cruel Woman (DVD)

Mikesch and Treut's first film, Verfuhrung: Die Grausame Frau (Seduction: The Cruel Woman, 1985) was inspired by the novel Venus in Furs by Leopold von Sacher-Masoch. Seduction examines the psychological aspects of sadism and masochism through the tale of Wanda (Mechthild Grossmann), a German lesbian dominatrix who runs a gallery where audiences pay for the privilege of watching her humiliate her slaves.
