This is the true film adaptation of Leopold von Sacher-Masoch's infamous novel of perversion and pain.

Regis Vallee plays the Peeping Tom obsessive Severin who craves to be punished and humiliated due to being caught as a child spying on a naked woman in furs. Seeing Wanda (Antonelli) writhing in fur reawakens his twisted desires but in turning her into his dominant Venus he soon opens up a world of cruel sexual enslavement that will push him to the edge of sanity.

A powerful descent into sadomasochistic degradation this beautifully cruel study of sexual submission is an erotic delight to be savoured over and over again.
