Summary: This hits a mark!
Review: Given that censors can affect what finally makes it onto celluloid I am amazed this film ever made it into the public domain. okay, some may say its tame compared to other stuff but I haven't seen the other stuff! This film pretty much manages to capture the erotiscm of the book and when it works less well it tends to be in this places where the book falls over as well! Some scenes from the book have been cut I think but not to the detriment of the film. I expected this one to be a dog but it's not. If you like your erotica leather-edged you'll enjoy this one...

Summary: One of the Best Erotic Films of All Time
Review: One of the few films that seriously explores the joys of watching one's wife/lover making love to another man. "O" loses herself in the depths of sexual surrender, thus finding herself in the process. She discovers total submission, not just to one man, but to many. Eventually she finds that she loves being taken at will by whomever chooses her. Her lover discovers the ultimate generosity of holding her hand as she is taken by her new master.Much more than just an adult movie, this film beautfully explores the depths of human sexuality and the unique joys of dominance and submission.

Summary: A CLASSIC THAT SEEMS TAME BY TODAYS STANDARDS
Review: I saw this movie when it first came out and was captivated by it. At the time it was fascinating, intriguing and shocking. I recently bought it to share with a friend of mine and was somewhat disappointed. Time and events have dated this film and it is no longer as exciting or interesting in light of the erotic films that have been made over the past few years. For those who want to view a classic and a period piece, this is still of interest. However, this film needs to be remade and updated to reflect a more modern perspective.

Summary: BRILLANCE is too weak of a word.!!
Review: The adaptation of this book to the screen back in 1975 was "MAGNIFIQUE". The dominace and submissive roles of all the actors in this movie were done with such discipline, that I just have to believe that the main charactor is one of submissive nature. In being submissive, you are saying "I love you" without restictions. I remember viewing the movie: The Lover, and thought that Ms March, was actually having sex with her Lover. Im that convince that at the time this movie was made that Corinne, was deffiantely a submissive woman. I have viewed this movie several time, and think that it has a place for most people's library. Its that good, and convincing. Being a submissive person, doesnt make you a weak person. In fact it takes a strong willed individual to be submissive to another, when LOVE is involved. The lessons in this movie are too many to talk about here. I loved this movie for what it is. It shows that eroticism though submissivess is good and not bad. Oh yes, did I mention that Corrine has a great body. :)

Summary: Story does a good job of fulfilling the goals of the book
Review: If you liked the book you will like the movie; however, if you loved the book, the movie may seem too tame. The movie tries to portray the look and feel of the novel to full effect. Its biggest drawback is the level of censorship that it had to put up with to allow its distribution at the time it was made. I hope a director today revisits the story with the lower censorship levels of today. But the director must be true to the book.

Summary: Rubbish, Trash, Garbage
Review: I did't like this film. Men screwing women like bits of meat, men posessing womens minds and bodies. This is also why I did'nt find it erotic. But she gets her revenge in the end, this is also the best part.

Summary: Erotic but disturbing
Review: Certainly this is a very erotic film based upon a very erotic book. I am afraid that people take this material seriously and seeing it "acted out" in this movie may be a bad thing in that respect. In general, I have read interviews with the book's author and she said that it wasn't meant to be literally interpreted. The things done were more symbolic, the enslavement emotionally, etc., rather than literally doing the things the book describes. Very likely if you did what was done to O to a real woman, she would die. Certainly be hospitalized at the least. I mean branding, sex with animals, bull whipping, etc. Come on! Good to read Anne Rice's "Beauty" books as well, but better not to try this "at home"...

Summary: Timeless fantasy
Review: This is a high quality and timeless masterpiece of erotic expression that will bring back discerning viewers again and again and again (and again)! And again, if you are into totally erotic submission and vengeful whipping of helpless and buxom nude gorgeous young ladies. This story covers a wide range of very intense sexual and moralistic emotions, that we all experience but which few of us are comfortable with admitting to. In fact, few of us who answer to the call of being "middle class" would be happy admitting that we enjoyed the expressions of complex sexuality that are displayed in this (slightly)over the (middle class) edge classic. This is great and timeless fantasy erotica with a challenging and stimulating BDSM twist. Get it, enjoy it, ... and apply its physical and, most of all, its emotional lessons - or should that be lesions! Come one, come all, together again and again! But get a good whip!

Summary: this is a must see for those curious about submission
Review: This is a must see for those interested in BDSM. It prortrays a very nice approach of what goes into the training of a woman for submission. I enjoyed the movie and especially the performance of Miss Corrine Clery. This is one of my favorite movies.

Summary: The All-Time BDSM Classic
Review: Story of "O", the acknowledged all-time BDSM classic, could only have been made in France, where romance and sexuality have been preserved and celebrated. The fact that in the quarter-century since it was produced nothing has supplanted it, is both a testimony to its staying power and a sad commentary on the lack of quality material in the adult (not porno) genre. A must see for anyone curious about leaving the narrow boundaries that define "vanilla" sexuality or who already participate in such activity, but have yet to view it.
