About

You may like this if you’re curious about slow, provocative erotic drama mixed with social unrest, in the vein of Eugenie de Sade or Madame Claude; Not for you if explicit sex, humiliation themes, or a meandering story put you off.

Pros: striking visuals; unusual setting; occasional dark humor | Cons: thin characters; uneven acting; explicit sex may repel
