10/15/2008 Artistically done documentary interview of the anonymous French writer of "The Story of O." Extremely erotic reenactments of excerpts from the book interspersed with interviews and what appears to be a play, or plays, about the writer and the main character.

Submission is in itself conservative and nothing new; the novel going so far outside the bounds of society was.(Dramatized scenes from the book do a good job of pointing this out.)[/font] [font=Century Gothic][/font] [font=Century Gothic]The documentary focuses on Dominique Aury who had originally written the novel for her lover, Jean Paulhan, and was published under a pseudonym. Interviews are also conducted with the original publisher and John de St. Jorre, a writer and journalist, who broke the story of Aury's identity forty years after the book was published.[/font] [font=Century Gothic][/font] See more Read all reviews
