I will immediately say that the novel by Sacher-Masoch, on the basis of which the American playwright David Ives wrote a play adapted by Roman Polansky, I did not read, but I knew about its existence and who does not know. Finally, I watched the film La Vénus à la fourrure, made in 2013, which, I must say, I liked. Toma Novacek (Matieu Amalric) - the director and author of the play, written just based on the above-mentioned work, in some state theater conducted an audition of actresses for the main role of Wanda von Dunaeva, already in the evening, everyone has gone, he is going to leave, when suddenly the disheveled, wet and very vulgar actress Wanda Jourdain with an immense bag (Emmanue Senje, the director's wife), literally begging him to listen to her. He resists, he has to leave, his bride is waiting for him at home, but she clings to him and does not want to disconnect, in the end, something in her behavior interests him, and he agrees. And here begins almost phantasmagoria - not only that the actress in the role is almost perfect, so in the course of the matter it turns out that she has from somewhere the full text of his play, which she knows perfectly, although she assures that the play has only flipped through the subway, although the copy looks pretty well read, in addition, she is very well aware of his personal life, she is well oriented in the details of the production, she can even put the light, which the director himself does not know. From her huge bag, she extracts various items of clothing that fit the director, who begins to portray the main character. Further - more, soon it becomes not very clear who the director is, and who she really is, and the end does not bring much clarity to the events. But watching all this is quite interesting, both actors, and there are only two of them in the film, on top. I will not go into details, if anyone is interested, it is better to watch this theater of two good actors.
