Not exactly a theatrical performance and neither a movie on a theatrical masterpiece, “Venus in Fur” certainly breaks the mold; so that don’t imagine just a sexual roleplay or something trasgressive in a elegant vest…. nothing of this.
There are only two main characters involved in a prolonged sparring match between them in which the erotic tension rises and we never understand who’s seducing/torturing whom, it remains constantly shifting open to interpretation.
Movie is almost entirely set within the theatre, as expected Polanski confirms to be a master of claustrophobic spaces, once again.
This is not an action film and neither a thrilling film, so if you are look for this kind of stuff, I'd suggest you to not watch it.
