    The Duke Of Burgundy (film) - Alternative to 50 Shades of Grey film?

    This is getting very good reviews/comments - http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/f...gly-kinky.html

    The Duke of Burgundy is hair-raisingly kinky stuff, although only after a while do we realise the film itself is engaged in role-play with its audience, meeting certain expectations that it later tantalisingly subverts. Lines of dialogue that once meant one thing are suddenly charged with their opposite meaning. There’s even a safe-word, ​ "​pinaster​"​, one of the varieties of pines that cloak the village from the outside world.
    Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

    Hurm. Someone needs to make a film of "The Marquis de Sade vs. Caligula". That would be epic.
