Venus in Fur (2013)
4/10
Pretentious and Boring Mess
30 March 2014
In Paris, the unknown actress Vanda (Emmanuelle Seigner) arrives late for the audition of a play that is an adaptation of the 1870 novel Venus in Furs by Leopold von Sacher-Masoch written by the director Thomas (Mathieu Amalric). He is ready to leave the theater and complaining on the phone about the quality of the actresses, but Vanda convinces him to read part of the play with her. Along her performance, she knows the lines by heart and questions aspects of the characters entwining performance with reality.

"La Vénus à la fourrure" is a theatrical movie by Roman Polanski with an adaptation of a play. The sexy Emmanuelle Seigner and Mathieu Amalric, who have recently worked together in the lead of "The Diving Bell and the Butterfly", have great performances. Unfortunately the screenplay is a pretentious and boring mess and in the end it is impossible to say what all is about. My vote is four.

Title (Brazil): Not Available
