Although the main draw in picking this up was the very sexy woman in skintight latex, there's actually a decent story and unflinching character study in this. It's bit pretentious in parts, but unlike most arthouse garbage, Schroder has definite, unambigious goals and ideas about his characters and narrative, specifically what kind of romance a character with this extreme of a lifestyle would have. Take note, arthouse garbage: he's not just posing questions, but acutally trying to say something

I didn't expect much, but it's kind of interesting in its approach to gender roles and sexual politics, has occasional sly moments of humor, and the cinematography is quite nice. Most of the S&M scenes aren't all that necessary, and they tend to come off like cheesy fetish porn rather than adding any depth to the story or the characters.
