Review of Secretary (2002) by Rusla R — 05 Oct 2009

This is a funny and very well done movie. It shows the psychological torture that a person goes through to relieve pain in their lives by cutting themselves (cutters).

However, Lee Holloway, finds a new relief when she starts working for a lawyer with certain sexual proclivities. He takes her into the world of sadomasochism as he is the Dom and she is submissive by nature. She finds herself falling in love with him and the BDSM style of life. He also finds he is mesmerized by her and after indulging himself in his office of her assests (so to speak), he fires her.

She realizes when she accepts the purposal of a fellow she had been dating that he is not what she wants. She rushes back to the lawyer and proclaims her love for him. He tells her not to move and days pass before he returns to her.

Although this shows a male dominating a female it is a wonderfully done movie. It protrays the pain and pleasure of a BDSM relationship from the Domination to the nurturing that goes on in this type of relationship. It shows some of the different aspects such as pony play and tools used in BDSM.

This is a funny and erotic tale of two people finding each other and themselves even tho they are unconventional.
