      Audience Member Disappointing ending. It is a good film with a tremendously weak ending. The whole final scene doesn't make sense. Gudrun Landgrebe has some great S&M scenes and her character (Eva) has an amazing story. On the other hand, Chris is a weak character, he's just a jealous psychopath who keeps overreacting because he cannot accept that Eva is succeeding as a Dominatrix. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member Starts out well then dissolves into mushy histrionics. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Supreme. Saw it in Paris seven times in 1984. Changed my life forever. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Esta la vi en algún cineclub de la UNAM. Bastante interesante Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
