The Image (1. 97. IMDb. Unsettling blend of art & pornography. I suppose it can be said of Radley Metzger's . It is quite impossible to not be reminded of that film while watching this one, as the subject matter is the same: the world of sadomasochistic sex relationships. Both are gorgeously filmed, and both play somewhat like sexually charged fairy- tales. 10 Things About The Edge and His Guitars.

Geraldine (Lois Kibbee) is still in her coma. A documentary about extreme sports. Director: Bruce Brown. Of course Arrival is on our radar this month. Both films were based on classic French erotic books, helmed by women. However the approach here is somewhat different, as . In this unforgettable film, a young model by the name of Anne is 'owned' by a somewhat older, ice queen of a woman named Claire. When Jean, a handsome stud meets up with this bizarre couple, so begins an intense sexual game, as Claire gives Jean a guided tour through the world of S& M.

Whippings, bondage, bizarre humiliations concerning urination, and oral sex, all filmed in breathtaking detail by the legendary Radley Metzger. Here is a man with a fascination for sex, nudity, and beautiful women. Fortunately, this man is equally concerned with more important things as well, such as character development, coherent and interesting story lines, symbolism, even the 'psychology' of sexual behavior. Important, for without these things, films like 'Image' would be not much more than a meaningless collection of beautifully filmed erotic set pieces. On the surface, Anne is the slave here, and Claire and Jean are in total control. I must give fair warning here: 'The Image' can be a somewhat harrowing experience for the average viewer.

For someone such as myself, who is not involved in the S& M lifestyle, it can be hard to see Anne's terror and pain as something enjoyable. Is she doing this because she enjoys hard sex, and being dominated, or is it because she is psychologically unhealthy, which would mean that these two 'masters' are preying upon a girl by exploiting her sickness? If it wasn't a good film, i believe these questions would not be asked. Recommended, but be prepared to see things not seen in mainstream cinema! Meet Edgefest band The 1. It has been a wild journey.
