Review of Venus in Fur (2013) by Leong C — 29 May 2015

Polanski makes minimal changes in the play to bring it to the screen, but applies enough style and pace that it works better than the play. Amalric and Seigner are in top form. While on the surface a clever and funny movie -- there is a constant creepy and perversely provocative layer to this battle of the sexes that gives this film not only complexity but depth.
