La prisonnière
Leaving January 31
•
1h 46m
Directed by Henri Georges-Clouzot • 1968 • France
Starring Laurent Terzieff, Bernard Fresson, Elisabeth Wiener
The final film by director Henri-Georges Clouzot was also his only complete feature in color, and he makes wildly psychedelic use of the medium to tell this kinky, kaleidoscopically stylized tale of modern art and sadomasochistic obsession. Josée (Elisabeth Wiener) is the wife of an artist whose work is exhibited in the gallery run by Stanislas Hassler (Laurent Terzieff). Stanislas, impotent and depraved, satisfies himself by photographing women in humiliating poses. Simultaneously shocked and fascinated, Josée finds herself drawn further and further into his world of perverse eroticism.
