"Seduction: The Cruel
Woman"
1985
Directed by Monika Treut & Elfi Mikesch
Pina Bausch dancer
Mechtild Grossman plays Wanda, a dominatrix whose troupe services customers and
elaborately stages S&M performances in this "stunning" film from German
filmmakers Elfi Mikesch and Monika Treut (Virgin Machine). Much more important to
Mikesch's insinuating camera than the petty tortures are the settings, costumes, and look
of each encounter. This is S&M by Avedon, outfits by Dior
By the way, on her off
hours, of which there are few, Wanda prefers women. German with English subtitles.
84 minutes. |
