Venus in Fur with English subtitles

A playwright-director unhappy with the results of his casting for the staging of a dramatization of Sacher Masoch’s Venus in Furs – and a late and erratic actress who has never heard of Sacher Masoch and has come as if for an S&M casting. An implausible but electrifying combination that will take them both much farther than anyone thought possible.
“Venus in Furs” proposes with cynicism, elegance and humor an analysis of power relations in the traditional theatrical world, before turning into a “bad trip” of revenge for all the abuses and situations of female vulnerability. Playing on several levels with our myths, stereotypes and expectations of sexual politics in the creative fields, Venus in Furs shows us pretty much what happens when a goddess knocks on your door. Mind games, fetishization, personal projections and provocative role-playing in a casting room, with unexpected results.
