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 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   RELATED PRODUCTS Related Categories: Drama > General Art House & International > By Genre > Drama Art House & International > By Theme > Erotic Secretary Retail Price: $14.98 Lowest Total Price: $10.98 You Save: $4.00 (27%) Merchant: BestPrices Lie With Me Retail Price: $7.99 Lowest Total Price: $10.38 You Save: $-2.39 (-30%) Merchant: VideoUniverse       FEATURED PRODUCTS Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead M...
