I am commenting this movie after 32 years lol. (and please forgive my bad English and try to understand me..) I saw it first in 1976, but recently I had the opportunity to see it again, and a lot of particulars I didn't noticed in my boyhood jumped out of the screen today.
At first, don't look at the trial O has to face.. the story is about the relationship and the power.. if you think that O was the weak one, you didn't noticed how the story ends..
I call this behaviour "topping from the bottom" Every relationship has a balance of power, and usually is not in equilibrium.
Going back to the movie (please, remember was filmed in 1975!)superb photography, appropriate music.
A detail I noticed after 32 yrs.. when O is bringed into the room, at the beginning, the other girl guide her having a hand over her shoulder.. first act of submission.
Of course, the argument is not for all..
