Top 25 BDSM Movie

"The Image" aka The Punishment of Anne

1976 - 89 min - Adult version - Director: Radley Metzger  Cast: Rebecca Brooke (Mary Mendum), others.

Plot Outline: "Jean discovers that Anne cannot get enough of being humiliated by her mistress, Claire. Gentleman that he is, he decides to partake in the activities. Ultimately, Claire surrenders to him as well."  It can be said of Metzger's "The Image", that it is the film that "Story of O" should have been. And since I loved the "Story of O", it follows that I would love this movie also. Both are gorgeously filmed, and both play somewhat like sexually charged fantasies. Both films were based on classic French erotic books, helmed by women. However the approach here is somewhat different, as "The Image" goes much further than "O" dared to go. In this unforgettable film, a young model by the name of Anne is 'owned' by a somewhat older, ice queen of a woman named Claire. When Jean, a handsome stud meets up with this bizarre couple, so begins an intense sexual game, as Claire gives Jean a guided tour through the world of S&M. The young Anne becomes the object of an endless series of kinky tortures/pleasures. Whippings, bondage, bizarre humiliations concerning urination, and oral sex, all filmed in breathtaking detail by the legendary Radley Metzger who was one of the best directors of adult films. I certainly have this DVD in my library and I recommend that you do also while it's still available.
