The Story of O (1975)

TSoO boasts lush lighting and seductive music but has very little else to recommend. The pace and the people were dull. Most of the cast looked almost as bored as I felt after just half an hour.
O’s lover puts her into what resembles a sadomasochistic finishing school for women who believe that subservience is an act of love, overseen by men who think ownership of the always-available students will somehow be beneficial to both. Whilst there she gets chained, blindfolded, whipped, fucked and degraded by self-important pricks. Tedium ensues.
