Thehibikiew Not even bad in a good way
Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
Billie Morin This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
Nazi_Fighter_David "Story of O" is luxuriant, nicely photographed, and Corinne Clery is quite appealing as a sensual actress… The film is an adaptation of Pauline Reage's novel about a young girl called O and her entry into the art of loving… The special philosophy here is that women, by nature, are inferior to men and should therefore submit to their every emotion and desire. This is the only way for a woman to find ecstasy… O falls in love with a practitioner of this doctrine, and is forced to go through quite a lot before he will take her in… The treatment of eroticism is slow and careful… O is initiated into a house of bondage where the women are playthings for the male clientele… No talking or complaining is permitted... If the rules are broken, they are "punished" in the collar with whips and chains...One can call this film a lot of things, but "subtle" isn't one of them… Still, it's not overly offensive either, despite its extremely one-sided view of femininity... It does have a seductive quality, and we are attracted into its exotic fact or assumption largely because of Corinne Clery's beauty and sensuality
The_Void Based on a novel by Dominique Aury, Story of O is an arty version of the classic story of S&M. Despite the sadomasochistic tone, the film is actually rather soft; but while it may not delight fans of the more hardcore pornography, the way that director Just Jaeckin tried to elevate the story above what it is and make a 'classic' film, as well as the fact that parts of it actually are erotic means that this is at least a fairly successful piece of softcore porn. The film focuses on a woman simply named 'O' (which is somewhat ironic because it sounds like a James Bond codename and the lead is played by Moonraker Bond girl Corinne Clery). She goes out with a man named Rene, who decides to take her to a retreat where she is trained in sexual perversion. It's clear that the director obviously valued his subject material and although the film fails as a classy drama; the way that it's filmed does give some extra interest. The acting is actually fairly decent, with Corinne Clery standing out alongside Anthony Steel and Udo Kier. There's a fair amount of sexual perversion involved although the film does not go into great detail with most of it; but we do get plenty of whipping and lesbianism at least. I have to say that I preferred Gerard Damiano's 'The Story of Joanna', which was also based on the classic French novel; but this is decent enough stuff and worthwhile for one viewing.
Cristian Histoire d'O (1975) * out **** Directed by Just Jaeckin With Corinne Clery and Udo Kier Jaeckin don't give us any pleasure with this pretentious film about Clery as a woman that do anything for his lover Kier, who ask only for sexual humiliation as prove of her love. Non erotic and kind of repetitive based on the best selling novel of Dominique Aury; its a pity with that decent soundtrack and that beautiful photography. Empty and boring; skip this one.
Hippolytos70 Excellent! A masterpiece of a BDSM movie!Corinne Clery is beautiful, marvelous, a real goddess of submission (first) and domination (after her training; be sure for this!) The delicate and high-class elegance of her face and her body is incomparable! And her grins, full with pain and (not encrypted) desire and last, when the whip smacks, again and again, her naked flesh! And her full-confident, hedonic, lustful smile when she whips mercilessly, as a mistress herself now, her slut slave!From the very moment I've seen the movie I can't stop fantasizing Mistress Corinne Clery make me her slave! Ordering me to kneel and kiss her feet! Smacking me and whipping me, again and again! Oh, Mistress!! I beg you before your feet; Give me the honor to serve you as your slave, to be useful for you to show upon me your dominion, your power in all your goddess glory!!
