Danielle Spencer Los Angeles Free Press Director Barbet Schroeder does not impose a point of view on his audience. He does not condemn, nor does he promote. He presents. It is a phenomenal feat of skill and sensitivity. Oct 28, 2019 Full Review Fernando Trueba El Pais (Spain) An elegant exercise of twisted intelligence and perverse moralism.

Dave S Once you get over the trauma of watching a penis get nailed to a piece of wood, you'll realize that Barbet Schroeder's Maitresse is a love story like any other鈥ell, not fully, but pretty much. When a petty thief and a dominatrix, played respectively by a very young Gerard Depardieu and the always luminous Bulle Ogier, meet under the most unlikely of circumstances, sparks soon fly and whips quickly crack. As unpalatable as it may be at times (horse lovers beware), it is a beautiful film to look at thanks to some stunning cinematography combined Schroeder's ability to frame shots and block scenes. Clearly, Maitresse is not for everyone but for those willing to give it a go, it'll prove to be a rewarding experience. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/01/23 Full Review Audience Member Now we're talking!!
