Rating: 4 stars
Summary: only for a select few
Review: excellent cinematography, capturing the spirit of the subject. not a typical, story- line oriented film, only for those looking for a non-stereotypical, insightful portrait of the s&m scene. enlightening portrayal, dark theme.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: not for most people
Review: I cannot imagine an audience for this movie. It is flat, disjointed, with poor production qualities. It smacks of a film trying to be really artsy, but it fails miserably. If you enjoy confusion and disjointedness, this is the movie for you. Otherwise, keep looking.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Unoriented
Review: I thought this video was disjointed and not oriented to any plot. Also the lighting was very dark and much of what was going on was unseeable.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Female Domination
Review: Mikesch and Treut's first film, Verfuhrung: Die Grausame Frau (Seduction: The Cruel Woman, 1985) was inspired by the novel Venus in Furs by Leopold von Sacher-Masoch. Seduction examines the psychological aspects of sadism and masochism through the tale of Wanda (Mechthild Grossmann), a German lesbian dominatrix who runs a gallery where audiences pay for the privilege of watching her humiliate her slaves.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: intelligent
Review: Probably one of the few interesting and intelligent movies ever done about SM. The actors are good, and the psicology of the characters is well defined and coherent with their involvement in the story.

The only problem is that the movie is a bit slow and sometimes boring, but still worth watching.
