Venus in fur

[La vénus á la fourrure]
Nov 18, 2014
50 Shades of...entertainment for real adults. Smart, sharp and occasionally very funny. Polanski (now 80) is at the top of his game by adapting a play that is based on a 1874 novella by Sacher-Masoch (where the word masochism is from just like sadism is from Marquis de Sade). With two actors who seamlessly drift in and out of characters (and into each other's character) and dialogues full of insight/surprises/reversals, the film captivates you all the way to the rousing and menacing end.
