MUSIC IN THE BACKGROUND
THUNDER
<No, no. Does not exist!
A young sexy who knows how to express himself...
.. classical training with a vague and a bit 'of the brain in the head.
Not one who knows how to pronounce "inextricable"...
.. without having done a course in diction.
Well ', listen... THUNDER
<(Marie-Cécile) Why do you say that? Turn to some agent.
<They actresses young and brave. - Yes <I can handle.
At the age of Vanda, at that time, a woman was married ...
.. had five children and had taken tuberculosis.
Instead today speak all girls like ten years...
.. who have breathed helium: "Too, too cool!"
"It's one thing that rocks!"
I have not seen more than a parade of thirty bitches...
.. bitch dressed as a half and the other half as a lesbian.
? Vanda or I'd be a better of most of those girls.
With a dress and a pair of socks 're done.
Hello? Hello, darling?
Oh, damn... Hello?
- Fuck! <(Vanda) Knock, knock.
I arrived late, right? Oh fuck!
<Holy shit! - If you are coming for "Venus in Furs"...
.. if they are all gone for half an hour.
I'm sorry, but I was on the other side of Paris.
My phone was unloading, I broke a heel...
.. on one of those ventilation grilles that no one knows what to air.
And then there was a guy on the subway I was rubbed on...
.. For everything the way.
And finally, the storm. I'm soaked to the bone!
Holy cow, it's my day.
Holy shit bitch!
Maybe there's a Valium in the cabinet of medicines, wants to look at?
No, it's just my luck.
Thank you, Lord, to make my life easier.
By the way, let me introduce myself.
- Vanda Jourdain. - How? Vanda?
Do you understand?
I even have the right name.
He ??knows a lot of girls who call themselves "Vanda"?
I made for that part...
.. and it takes the subway stop in the tunnel with the handle.
- Her name is? - Thomas Novachek.
Pleasure... Hey, wait a minute!
- She is the author. - Yes, well... no.
I did it just fit.
- Yes, but she is also the director, right? - Yes, that would say yes.
I love his piéce at least the ones I know.
"Anatomy of the shadow," great! I have seen it twice!
Not mine.
Oh! But that stupid.
- I meant that one. - The other? - What a shame.
However, this is too strong, at least from what I've read.
Er 'rather risqué, right? Sexy in my opinion.
Or erotic, kind if like humiliation and stuff like that.
I do not usually go around dressed in leather and with the collar...
.. I'm a reserved type.
But I thought that I would help her get into the part.
- It's S & M stuff? - Not exactly.
- It 'set in 1870. - Ah, I see.
- Does not do much in 1870, right? <No, not really.
- Perhaps the sadomasochistic dressed so already. - Yes, go find out.
- I took a photo and resume. - Very well, thank you.
Where am I? Here...
- Here's the picture... and the Curriculum. - Thank you.
'true, is a bit' short but they are made for this part.
I starred in Hedda Gabbler and they said I was delirious.
- The Theatre of the urinal? - Yes
I have not had the pleasure of following their last season.
He ??had an appointment for this audition?
At 14. 15... a little 'time ago.
- Vanda... how did he say? - Jourdain.
Everyone always ask me if it's a stage name.
Here I do not see his name.
Really? ll My agent has sworn that it was all right.
- I'm not on the list? - Please, leave.
Fuck! Thank you again, sir.
- But since I'm here... - Wait, what does?
I also have the habit of scene!
- No! - Wait!
- I have a dress from the high. - It's useless.
- Do not you want me to audition? - I do not want to do it to him, no!
- Since you are here we might try. - They're all gone.
- There is no one to give her the joke. - She can do it.
For me it would be an honor to have the author to give me the joke.
- Adapter. - Would be a real force!
- Directly from the adapter. - Okay, enough!
- To tell the truth, Miss... - Vanda.
- Try someone a little 'different. - Oh yeah?
- Who do you want? - Someone a bit more...
.. how to say...
Okay, not efforts. Someone who is not me.
Too low, too high, too old, too young...
ll my resume is too short, okay I understand.
- But no, wait. - I've pissed off.
- Calm down. - It's not fair.
Really, I've had enough.
My day was a nightmare.
Arrange other hearings.
Now I'm here, I'd avoid to come back tomorrow.
Even my day was very stressful.
I auditioned with an army of failed.
One even had braces on his teeth.
- Now would not be the case. - Okay. - I need to rest.
- Then I wait for dinner. - Yes, I understand.
It will be better to do it when I'm less tired.
Thank you for coming and congratulations for the dress.
- I'll see you soon. - I wish it were but it's nice to say it.
He looks like a decent person.
This is a shitty job...
.. not to mention the thirty euro for this suit dick.
- Do not you find that face "1800 something"? - Of course!
- It is very Vanda, right? - Yes
I think wearing a dress stralungo...
.. because at that time all hated his ass.
- This is a misstatement. - I'll see how I is.
CELLPHONE RINGS Please, be nice!
- Yes? - Thank you.
<And 'fall line, must have been the time.
No, no!
I do not speak with you, has just entered someone.
No, I think not.
Then I'll take the sushi along the way.
Hello.
I can help you close it?
Thomas Novachek in person will give me the beats.
It will not be a big help, I'm not an actor.
Come on, she's perfect. You Kowalski spat.
- No, Kushemski. - Kushemski.
- You Kushemski. - I would not say.
At your service, sir.
Where do we start? Choose her, I have no preference.
Let's try the first scene.
Okay.
- It has its fair share? - Yes
- It's a bit shabby. - What is the full text.
- Who gave it to him? - I do not know.
- I sent it to my agent. - And him as if he has obtained?
It's a problem? And top secret? Should not I see it?
It does not matter.
- Have you read? - Yes, in passing, on the subway.
I have seen that is excerpted from something.
Got to do a song by Lou Reed "Venus in furs"?
No, it is taken from a novel by Austrian :
"The Venus in Furs" by Leopold von Sacher wrote -Masoch.
I bet you know how to read the Austrian and who has read it in the original version.
Actually yes.
The book caused a scandal when it was published in 1870.
I believe! No fund that is not a porn BDSM.
- This is not a porn BDSM. - She does not find it porn?
Not even a little?
Since it was written in the Middle Ages, in 1800 and something?
"Venus in Fur" is a beautiful love story...
.. Is one of the great texts of world literature.
Ah, yes? For me, it's a porno.
sadomasochism know what it is, I work in the theater.
The term "masochism" comes from Sacher-Masoch and from this book.
Ah! Masochism-Masoch. I was supposed to get there!
So this guy has given its name to sadomasochism.
- It was not his intention. - I want to see!
Believed to have written a good novel and they all said it was porn.
- You have plagiarized the book? - No, I adapted.
I reinvented the dialogues, situations and...
- There is so much of me in here. - Great!
Where is carried out, such as place?
Type in a hotel that is located in a remote east...
.. nell'lmpero Austro-Hungarian Empire. - Let me remember.
- It's complicated. - It's a nice guy?
Yes, it is a spa for wealthy people...
.. a luxurious place.
The curtain rises and Kushemski is in her room.
She is reading her book while drinking coffee.
And then... knock knock! Sign Vanda.
It is symbolic from the point of view of the character that read ?
No, but there are still people who read the books .
- Sometimes even the real books, paper. - Caught in the foul.
This type what's his name? Sevran, Severan, Savrìne ..
- Severin Von Kushemski. - That is so.
What kind of person is she?
Tell me of adjectives.
Rich, idle, typical of its era, smart traveler, cultured.
- Lntellettualoide. - So to speak.
Ah, "so to speak." I love it.
- I do not felt in a long time. - What's wrong?
- So is a distinct type her. - You want me to talk about the character?
Yes, I know it by heart... but yes, please, if you like!
I would say that from many points of view is a young woman of her time...
.. in spite of the principles he professes but...
- In spite of what? <Of the principles he professes.
At first glance it is a person in place, poised and very cultured.
Do not tell me! Anything else?
Something that I do not already know the type...
Never mind, I'll manage.
- Bothers you if I change lighting? - As the lighting!
It's a bit' too much, do not you think?
Please , face as if he were in his house.
Is not that better?
Not bad.
Aspects.
I do not know which button mash.
So it is much better.
This guess is the sofa.
<Yes, it's the sofa.
The desk?
The book that is reported?
There is a postcard, fantastic!
What is this?
- A phallic symbol? - There are remnants of the previous show.
A Belgian production of...
.. "Stagecoach" adapted to musical comedy.
Where would that put me?
Where prefer...
.. less than at the center.
<Side yard or side yard? - Garden.
He ??wants you to re-read the text before you start?
No, let's begin. Up to where?
- End of page three. - Okay. And then throw me out, right?
- Lntanto think to try. - And then throw me out.
- Look, I... <Ah, yes! I forgot...
- The phrase that on page 0, type the citation. <The epigraph?
Yes, that one.
"The Lord Almighty struck him and put him in the hands of a woman."
Is a quote that appears in the novel, is taken from the Book of Judith.
<It's in the Bible? - In the Apocryphal books of the Bible, yes.
I do not know anything.
- Ah, yes. <Do not you think it is sexist?
"The Lord Almighty struck him and put him in the hands of a woman."
I just mention the novel of Sacher-Masoch .
<Yes, but since you put it on page zero...
It does not matter, does not concern me, I'm just an actress.
<Forgot the fur!
- She's wearing a stole, right? - Yes, indeed.
Fur, fur...
soft fur...
Maybe not...
This...
Ma ..
The stockings are dry Duchess and arch-dry.
The socks are dry and the Duchess arch-dry.
Grime station. Grime station.
- When he wants. - The tea has taken away your stubborn cough?
If you will not be seren rasserenerà.
MAKES OF VERSES
<Toc toc. - Next.
<Herr Doktor von Severin Kushemski?
I'm sorry if I'm annoying.
My name is Vanda von Dunayev.
Accommodation in the room above her.
<Last night I found this book, a copy of "Faust"...
.. with his marker inside.
I was sitting under the birches, near the statue of Venus.
Thank you very much.
I had just asked the waitress to find it..
Gliel'avrei did bring, but there is a postcard bold inside.
This is a Titian, right?
<Yes
"Venus in the mirror," one of my favorite paintings.
His Venus looks to be well served...
.. just like his book.
She is faithful?
- As he says, excuse me? <Original.
Yes, it is a copy... faithful to the original.
I understand your infatuation, is a fascinating picture.
Thanks for having disturbed to bring it back.
I could not help noticing the strange poem written on the back.
"Venus In Fur". E 'his work?
- There are verses of the poor poor. - Shoddy? Really?
"To love and be loved, or as a charm... "
".. yet, stronger, more beautiful still .."
".. is this torment that consumes me."
"Ll kiss this woman I am a victim..."
".. the slave miserable..."
".. submissive, the footrest."
"My goddess, my dictatorship..."
".. my Venus in Furs."
<Sentiments are interesting.
If I were you, I'd do a lot of attention to this bookmark.
I appreciate your discretion.
Want to sit for a moment?
Thank you.
- May I take your coat? - Very kind of you.
E 'a fur tartar, right?
A sable of the Caucasus? I would say of Kazakhstan.
One of tartar sable Kazakhstan, exactly.
Kushemski, standing, observes fur between his hands.
But she trembles!
Yes, please forgive me.
- Can I get you something to drink? - Gladly.
- A coffee would be perfect. - Then take mine.
How kind!
- Two lumps, please. - He serves coffee...
I hope I do not hear the noise above walk in heels.
For anything in the world!
Walk as well as wants with her heels.
So you're a poet, Herr Kuskhemski?
A waste of time.
And a passionate expert on fur?
The love of fur...
- Skip this measure, the following is ... - No, read it.
The love of fur is innate.
E ' a passion given to all by nature.
We put a little 'more effort.
The love of fur is innate.
E ' a passion given to all by nature.
Caress a soft and thick fur...
.. hear that particular tickled, that electricity...
I think that she is not only a gift of nature.
Her mother wrapped up in a sable when he was little?
They are indiscreet.
<I beg your pardon. - No, I...
It was one of my aunts to have a real passion for fur.
- So that explains it. - We are all easily explained.
- But we remain intractable. -? Inextricable?
- What do you mean? - Life makes us what we are.
End of page three.
THUNDER
Actually yes...
- He was going very well, Vanda. - I was looking for footholds.
- I did what I could. - Seemed very safe.
That 's what it means able to create an atmosphere.
- I am a professional. - Really, it was...
- Stop it, I will become red. - I did not say it was perfect.
- No, of course. - Let's go on a little '?
Kushemski After that he made his speech...
.. you go to...
- Read it helps me to get into character . -?, Or recite.
- She reads well, Thomas. - No, it's an impression.
She reads really well.
- Has already thought of someone to Kushemski ? - Not really.
- I have several options. - She should do so.
- Yes, of course! - I think so seriously.
- You would be very good. - However, it is difficult.
- Inflict all this to the actors... - Does the director, it is his job.
- To direct the first time. - I just do not look it.
I decided to do this because filmmakers never understand anything.
- I do not know what I endured... - E 'for this reason that it is perfect.
- You know what to do. - I have everything in my head.
I want to use the "Lyric Suite" Alban Berg for transitions...
- as grandiose idea! - He knows the "Lyric Suite"?
No, but you understand what I mean?
You know the story of the inner life, of the characters, everything! - Yes.
To Kushemski should look something like an accent...
.. or something of the kind. - It 'a distinguished man.
- Yes - And with that I do not know...
.. by aristocrat.
E ' distinct enough so if I move?
Or is it just stupid?
E 'a little' fessacchiotto but it is fantastic.
- For the case would not have a dressing gown? - Yes
-?, Or joking! - Want to try it?
Courage, will help.
But it is magnificent.
- Am I wrong or is it vintage? - So I'm told.
Siegfried Mueller...
.. Vienna...
.. 1869.
I had not seen him.
40 ? at the flea market.
Seems tailor-made for her.
- As if he holds himself? - Very good.
It is close to my brush.
- Makes her figure. - Yes
Hello, nice guy.
And the dog collar as he paid?
It is a reminder of the period in which I beat the pavement.
Joke!
Let's pick up a few jokes back.
Her mother wrap up in a sable when he was little?
I am indiscreet, please forgive me.
It was one of my aunts to have a real passion for fur.
- For him it is tough to say this. - Yes, it's no wonder.
- Then take courage. - Yes
I am indiscreet, please forgive me.
It was one of my aunts to have a real passion for fur.
- So that explains it. - We are all easily explained.
But we remain intractable.
Inexticable!
What do you mean?
Life makes us what we are in an unpredictable moment.
Ll coffee to your liking?
I just tasted it sounds great.
This is symbolic, right? ? Him the coffee is...
.. and she has just tasted but is already excited.
Ln fact, I was exposed.
Have you ever experienced such a "moment unpredictable"?
Ln reality, yes, but I will not bother you .
On the contrary, it fascinates me.
Like one of those detective novels English.
Him look mysterious aunt who loved fur.
- This part could skip it. - No, read it. I want to hear it.
Him look mysterious aunt who loved fur.
I was a child from hell...
.. spoiled and cruel.
Martyrise maids and our cat.
I behaved very badly with one of my aunts.
The Countess was a woman majestic, voluptuous and terrible ..
- What is it? - Nothing.
E 'just saying aloud the words that I wrote ...
.. two of the morning on a screen looked different.
If you're doing great!
What did your aunt?
One evening he is avenged.
E 'came into my room...
.. with his big black fox coat Russia.
Ln his hand he held a rod, a branch of birch...
.. With her were the cook and the waitress.
She took off her coat and has rolled up his sleeves...
.. I tried to escape...
.. but the other two women took hold of me .. .
.. I have lowered my pants and threw me on the fur.
I held still while my aunt me punished with the rod.
My buttocks and my naked thighs were on fire.
Maids encouraged her.
You make fun of me, treated me like a sissy .
As I danced away but my aunt continued to hit me...
.. until such time as I begged her to stop...
.. pity.
When he finally stopped, forced me to thank you...
.. and kiss her feet.
Then after you exit from that room threatening to come back.
And all this in the presence maids...
.. and our cat.
From that moment...
.. na fur to me is not been a more simple fur...
.. nor a birch branch a simple branch.
Ln a moment she made me who I am... .
- And it's back? - Yes
In my dreams, with its black fur and his rod.
It comes to visit me again, night after night.
- My poor friend. <Poor?
She taught me the most valuable thing in the world .
- And what he taught? - That nothing is more sensual pain.
That nothing is more exciting degradation.
The Countess has done its job well.
It has become my ideal.
From that day I seek his double.
And when I meet the woman I will marry her.
This step is sensational!
Thanks, I took a lot of work.
In practical terms, it's like a play child abuse?
Nothing to do.
What the fuck does the maltreatment of children with this story?
Holy cow, this craze nowadays...
.. bring everything to a social problem of cock.
- The abuse is not only... - Do not follow stereotypes!
Do not talk about anthropology or sociology!
- Let's theater. - Yes, but...
Here there is much more at stake the issue of corporal punishment.
Okay, I'm sorry!
In what world impoverished and dull live!
Why do we always try to bring everything to something else?
What else will pull out now? Ll sexism, racism, class struggle?
Well, you're certainly unique, Herr Kushemski.
If I were you, I would be careful.
His ideal woman could prove more cruel than desired.
I am ready to take the risk.
I know what she is... A supersensible.
An ascetic of pleasure.
And you, Frau von Vanda Dunayev, who or what is?
I am a pagan.
Does that mean I'm young, beautiful, rich...
.. and that account to derive more benefits possible.
I do not deny anything.
I have the utmost respect for its principles.
I beg your pardon, but I do not care of his respect.
I shall love the man I take delight...
.. and take pleasure the man who will make me happy...
.. but only until make me happy and then I'll find another.
For a man there is no cruelty largest infidelity of a woman.
For a woman, it gets worse: forced loyalty.
- I can move? - Yes, yes... moving.
In our society...
.. woman can have power only through the intercession of a man.
What will become of the woman, when it becomes equal to men?
When it becomes herself?
The Little Vanda is a lot ahead of its time!
How do you know all the jokes?
- I do not know, I learn quickly. - He knows all the text by heart!
He had said that Vanda is very much in place in spite of what?
- Of the principles he professes. - Here are those. - Yes
According to her Vanda does not believe in all these stories.
E 'what it says... Women's Rights, blah blah blah...
But she does, type, a character, mind.
As said: " the principles he professes" and not "his principles."
I think I liked very much the alliteration: "of the principles he professes."
I see!
He ??sold his soul for alliteration.
'true, I plead guilty.
Just between us, Thomas, she is a true tomboy.
If you allow, I would say that...
She is better than a pagan. Seems to me a goddess.
- Really? And what? - Venus.
And Vanda Venus is really me or am I making this up?
E 'Venus took the likeness human to come to haunt him?
Not really.
- Or rather, not exactly. - Okay, there are! And 'wanted.
- She wants it to be ambivalent. - Ambiguous. - Yes, that one.
Ln fact it is the story of "The Bacchae."
What was "The Bacchae"?
- It's an old play, right? - It's a very old play.
Citizens of Corinth. You stand before you a Testiculus...
.. poor mortal cursed by the gods for his offenses...
.. and totally fucked up the end of time.
- It 'a play of this kind? - Yes
Dionysus descends to Earth and is the arrogant king of Thebes...
a quivering jelly dressed as a woman. - It looks exciting.
After that, the wild women of Thebes Bacchae, it broke in pieces.
- And Dionysus returned to her home, triumphant. - I think I saw.
In our case, however, it is not of Dionysus but of Aphrodite.
<Who is it?
- And 'the Greek version of Venus. - But it is the same person.
<The same goddess. - Hail Aphrodite!
Ave, oh Aphrodite. I am so unbearably pedantic?
Yes, but I find it a nice thing.
Yes
What do we do?
Seems to me a goddess.
Really? And what?
Venus.
But Venus can rule only in a world of slaves.
< Then it will be better for me to find one.
<Would you like to be my slave, Kushemski Herr Doktor?
I already am.
I became his slave since they entered this room.
It is already in love with me?
Deeply.
I am suffering as if it knew all along.
- I subdue. - Stand up straight and turned away from me.
I must confess that intrigues me.
I love his frankness and clarity of his thought.
From a physical point of view, she has charm, no doubt.
But if a man submits himself to me, I snuff a trap...
There are traps. Do you love me!
- You see? Has already begun to give orders. - Marry me.
I am a frivolous woman, Herr Kushemski.
To love me, will have to give proof of great courage .
- I have already explained my principles. - I do not care.
- I want you to be my wife. - I do not know anything about me.
- I domains. - Is absurd.
I'll give you complete power over me, for eternity.
Do with me what he wants.
- I domains, hit me if you want. - This unexpected news to me.
- Put that way. - What?
- Put yourself in the middle, at the bottom. - No, I'm fine here.
Should move there.
Takes power and put in a position of power.
Resume.
- This unexpected news to me. - Yes. - Not good!
Do not move, try.
I'll give you complete power over me for eternity, unconditionally.
Do with me what he wants. I domains.
Peaks if I want to.
- This unexpected news to me. - I do not even pretend to try?
He wanted me to get here, I started here.
E 'then it's just an audition.
' hearing also to see if he agrees to be direct.
Do what I say and stay there.
I'll give you complete power over me for eternity, unconditionally.
Do with me what he wants me domains.
- I peaks if you want. - This unexpected news to me.
- She's right, it's better. - Continue.
What do you want in the depths of his heart?
To belong to her...
.. disappear in essence sublime...
.. dress and undress...
.. offer her stockings, let her wear shoes .. .
.. no longer have my own will.
<And that she call love? - It's the only love there is.
Ln love, as in politics only one of the parties must have the power.
A must be the hammer and the other the anvil.
I gladly accept to be the anvil.
Enough.
Go on, I like it!
Thomas, but that intelligence, especially with regard to women.
- She really understands the women. - Yes, yes... years of study.
- Where was I? - She was a rock.
Vanda, I try pain and her pleasure.
You should not ever let dominate the feelings of others.
The servant of his mistress as he would serve her.
The domains, squeeze it like a lemon.
She is incredible.
If you do not want me as a husband, take me as a slave.
Treat me with divine cruelty.
Why should I mistreat those who love me?
- But I'd love it even more. - I do not wanna be adored.
All women want to be worshiped, as our Creator.
I create! I am ruined! I am reduced to a thing!
CELLPHONE RINGS
One moment, please excuse me.
<Hello? Yes
No, they are not out yet.
It's all right.
It's all good just...
I do not know.
At times, eh?
I'll call you when I get out?
Yeah, me too, my love.
- Yeah, so... <Yes, all right.
Excuse me, huh?
For the hearing do not know.
<The time now is temporary agency, maybe they have something.
How typist, night work in a major law firm.
The contract is for tomorrow.
<I do not know!
What will be, will be.
E 'so you see a little' you.
- Crazy! - His half?
<It says so? - She says half today?
- I do not know... asshole? - Ah, okay.
- You ask why I lied to you? - No, it does not concern me.
How is it that says Vanda?
"I do not deny anything, I have other fish to get laid."
- Crippling the manner of speaking. - You're the hammer, the anvil him.
What should I say? "Yes, dear, whatever you want"?
This has nothing to do with love, but with my ass.
And if you want, has to take the rest.
- This is what speaks the play. - Oh yeah?
It makes fun of me?
- I do not know, do you believe? - Will you stop pretending.
For once can not tell what you think?
Talking with her is more complicated than tango.
He does not want to face a coffee?
Why is that there?
- He's trying? - Absolutely not!
I'm just offering coffee.
- It 'a symbolic coffee? - But no, it's a real coffee.
What would he say if he saw his wife give me a "real coffee"?
- I'm not married. - But it should be?
I thought so before the phone.
- It was my girlfriend. - It's the same.
You would think that? Ln an interview said:
"ll theater is the best way for the girls to bed."
Do not tell me that he read that stuff.
I was young, was my first interview.
- It has never been married? - Never.
- It still lives with his mother? - I'm weird but not so much.
It's fox fur his passion?
- No, it's love. - She is really strange.
< And my woman to be my muse.
So your girlfriend has a pair of wings and everything else?
Ln love must jump completely.
<And she dives. - I'll jump in fish...
.. with fireworks, dizziness and thunder.
Coffee yes or no coffee?
Conceive of a man to give me to life only by becoming his slave.
I would say that we are not at all compatible , Herr Kushemski.
We will cancel each other out.
And I would say that we are made for each other.
Is not what he feels, Vanda? Is not that what she feels?
?, Or propose a try, a contract as in business.
It will have a year to prove that is the man I need.
- A year is a long time. - I have not finished yet.
- I beg your pardon. - You will be my slave for a year.
So he prepared everything!
He ??had planned everything before entering.
- Do you believe? - The stop making the naive.
- It's you, the author. - I'm not sure I have everything ready.
And they are sincere, I swear.
So you wanted? It is ambivalent.
- Ambiguous. - That yes.
Or is it a slut craving, ready for everything to enjoy.
A craving whore? I had never thought of her as well.
It can be even more complicated.
"Be my slave for a year and then I'll let you fuck."
- It is always ambivalent, right? - Ambiguous.
- Ambiguous. - From my point of view, rather than the Kushemski...
could be his last chance. Maybe the only one.
And to do that?
- To live. - Yes
He loves the whip and wants to know if like you too.
- The hearing ago. - She makes him a hearing.
He is a weirdo and she is an object like all women of the 1800s.
What is it?
Who is she, then, Frau Vanda Jourdain?
- I am a pagan. - No, I'm serious.
Restart trying.
Where did you get? What is your story?
Daughter of the military, grew up around, I have no provenance.
Where have you been? ln which city? ? And which countries?
I will write a contract stipulating that she will be my slave for a year.
- I'll be at his command. - Done deal.
They exchange a handshake.
- Ln hotel has dropped an official greek. <A greek? - Yes
is from Athens.
Mounts a stallion as white as snow wearing boots and black leather.
I want you to get me the number of his room.
- But, Vanda... <What is it?
- Already a reluctant? - I beg your pardon.
Tomorrow I'll wait in the birch forest, near the statue of Aphrodite .
- At what time? < Wait for me until such time as I decide to come.
- Very good. - Do not introduce without the room number of the greek.
Now kiss my foot.
And he kneels and kisses her foot.
I love this part, it is very direct.
Pass the fur now.
Séverin, how will it end?
This depends only on you, Vanda Frau von Dunayev, and not by me.
Thanks for the coffee, slave.
Yes, I would go right now. A coffee mean.
E 'was intense. The handshake was electric.
The happiness of a time when people were more introverted .
< A simple conversation emanated already eroticism.
Conversation. The only thing to put in your teeth.
The book begins well, right?
- The book? - Yes
Where is the beginning scene...
.. when Venus appears to the naked fur in front of the fireplace?
- You've read "The Venus in Furs"? - I gave him a look.
When he said he did not know from what it was, he lied.
I took a small lead.
- Why has not kept that scene? - I did not know how to use it.
Just put it at the beginning, before the type with Vanda.
Can not think of doing "The Venus in Furs" without Venus.
E can use the same actress for Vanda and Venus.
- Naked on stage? There is no problem. - Yes, we will think.
- Why do not improvise? The give you ideas. - How?
You have to change the lights.
- Where we are at the beginning of the play? - Ln chamber Kushemski...
.. in the middle of the night.
Ok, middle of the night, two of morning.
Dampen a bit '...
Fire in the fireplace, side garden.
Yes, very well.
Kushemski What are you doing?
- I do not know... law. - What a fantasy!
Too obvious?
He is also reading when he meets Vanda.
Do not read too early, we are not in the library.
Perhaps you could write her diary.
I like that.
Yes
Then I'm Venus.
Who cares!
<Face as if you were naked. - We're hitting on me?
Images that have a girlfriend and unexpected.
- Ah, it's the first time I do it. - They say all the girls.
Yes, but for me it is the truth.
Ll fire in the fireplace comes to life, we see Venus naked...
.. lasciviously wrapped in a fur coat...
Force , I wrap in fur.
She is the director.
I said "lascivious."
Now you put the desk.
Become the character.
Write in his diary.
- Really write. - I'm doing it.
But out loud, we are at the theater! If not how do we know who he is?
We are at the beginning of the play.
The scene is illuminated little by little...
hear the ticking of a grandfather clock.
Tic tac...
.. tick...
.. tic tac!
October 22, 1870.
Two of the morning.
Living in a spa...
.. surrounded by forests and mountains.
E 'a moonless night, darkness and silence reign.
VANDA ? WHISTLING ? A Moment! I hear a sparrow.
- A nightingale. <A nightingale.
VANDA MEOWS
And the lure of a cat in heat.
I feel terribly alone...
.. unhappy, unfulfilled.
(In German) Good evening.
Well, the Germans have invaded again?
<I hope I did not disturb you.
Absolutely not.
Hail, Aphrodite.
- So I have not forgotten! - Forget?
My most dear and old enemy?
- You're too kind. - Yes
I do not have a right to a little kiss?
- That's better, but Thomas... - Oh! - I told Thomas? Oops!
It's so cold in here!
Every time I come to visit you, I am cold.
SNEEZES See?
I already inflamed bronchi.
If you do not passed time to walk around naked...
However, the are Venus, I have to be naked.
It is part of the job.
Do not you want to take off those clothes rough come and hold you close to me?
There is so much room here under my fur.
No, thank you.
I brought this vision to you, directly from Olympus.
E 'divine!
- I do not see the label? Made in Olympus. <Why?
Why should I care about your vision?
I know your small flaw.
I'm not interested in women.
You feel concern for their fur, should marry an otter.
I understand better with an otter that with a woman.
But if I spread legs under my mink...
.. you refuse a little 'love?
<It 'a little' I love you suggest?
No, it is the power that interests you.
- Dare you resist me? - Yes, I dare.
Séférin, I want you on the ground, at my feet.
- Beg me. - Never.
You already belong to me and I will belong until the end of time.
- Never. - (In German) Goodbye.
The back.
And then, poof, it disappears.
<Whew! - Not bad, eh?
- Yes, no... - Could write it and put it in play.
This is, so to speak, yes.
- Ln this context... - There is some good 'accent to Dietrich.
Yes, it works very well.
And then gives a different picture of Kushemski.
Yes, in the middle of the night there is that makes it difficult to Venus...
.. and then the next morning with Vanda: "I face her, I beg you."
We conclude lowering the lights...
.. and then when you get up in the morning is again , knock knock...
.. and here Venus reappears disguised as Vanda.
- To take revenge. - But yes, it's great!
<So is she? - What?
<He is she?
Kushemski - Novacek, Novacek - Kushemski.
- No, not me. < He ??said that there is a lot of her in there.
Then maybe she is Vanda.
- The play has nothing to do with me. - Sure, she's just the author.
Oops, the adapter.
<Type: "If a critic says that that's me, kill him."
- I will have the right to invent characters? - Of course.
Watch case he came across in the characters of a novel sadomasochism.
No, it's a famous book and I...
Not experienced his "unpredictable moment" at the age of twelve?
- No. - ln library...
- No! - With a cat.
No.
She's still waiting for his "big time"?
Do not look a damn thing!
I find that the relationship between the two characters both fascinating and complex.
- Of course! - I love the emotional depth of the characters.
Do you live more this kind of thing nowadays.
Do not you see more of this kind rage nowadays.
- I should submit some friends of mine. - Okay.
Very well, then I do not understand a bell accident.
When he returns home, his girlfriend is not binds to the bed to whip?
No.
You should ask him, so girlfriend to see if it is available.
- Stop calling her "girlfriend." - Excuse me.
What do you think of the play his half?
- You do not like very much. - Will you tell fear that it comes to you.
This is not about us.
Let me guess about his...
Marie-Cécile.
I bet he's younger than her.
Good extraction.
Definitely grew up in a nice little house family in the province.
- From parts of La Baule? - Nantes, actually.
But I bet his family spent the weekend in La Baule...
.. in a beautiful villa with a garden.
Practice sailing and loves seafood.
Yes, it's true.
She is tall, slightly authoritarian, but without being disagreeable.
Gods wonderful hair...
.. Long legs and a nice pair...
.. eyes.
A brain of all respect.
He made his preparatory school in Paris, of course to Louis Le Grand.
I'm wrong a lot?
<Henry IV, School of Economic Sciences . - And he has a doctorate.
- Is finishing the thesis in sociology. - Has a dog?
Let's see... I would say a labrador.
It's called...
has an unusual name that is a little 'intellectual.
- Bourdieu? - Derrida.
The culture is not lacking, I see.
I bet that is rich in smashed...
.. although a seedy theater and a cactus Belgian...
.. does not exactly Comédie Française.
No, there is grain in the family. Am I right?
Of course, I say fine.
But she is the artist and this Marie-Cécile lose their heads...
.. along with its sensitivity.
You're the first man I have ever met...
.. who owns a real sensitivity.
She loves books, the opera, the ballet , things like that.
In the evening, watch and talk Arts last Goncourt...
.. and then make a quiet fucking.
Nothing is better than a sex session quiet to relax.
But there's a voice that echoed in his head...
.. a voice that demands other things.
I do not know what it is but echoes.
Bum.
Thomas In the meantime she is happy.
The truly loves...
.. and spend a quiet life to look Arty...
.. and talk about the latest Goncourt.
You will have children who will live just like you and then you die.
Continue to read?
Yes, let's continue.
<The meeting of the day in birch forest? - Okay.
Let's pretend that it is the statue of Venus.
Hail, Aphrodite.
Hail, Aphrodite...
reread the text quickly?
No, Séverin.
No, no, not good.
All these stories of bondage and domination...
She has corrupted with all this talk.
I am convinced that she would feel pleasure to dominate a man.
- No. - Maybe even to torture.
- No. - Admit it.
Not for me.
- How can I make her see reason? - To hell with reason!
Séverin, really do not understand?
You will never safe in the hands of a woman...
.. whoever she is.
But this joke is sexist. I want to shout!
What is so sexist?
"You will never be safe in the hands of a woman."
- But it's in the book... - Do not change anything.
- The book is sexist. - The book is not sexist.
- On the contrary, it is something... - A classic of world literature.
- He was about to say this? - Not exactly.
And this?
We do not have a certain Titian here, sweetheart.
- It 'a nice bdsm porn. - What the...?
- This story is nothing more than a big cliche. - And why not?
One is spanked and suddenly he likes to be whipped?
- It 's what happened to the author. - And it happened to her? - No!
So what do you know?
For me it is a play about two people who are united eternally.
their hearts are handcuffed to each other.
- Shackled in perversion. - No, handcuffed in passion.
- Yes, but the passion of him! - E 'chemistry...
.. is the meeting of two people giving fire to the powder.
This is the struggle of the sexes, and classes.
Vanda is an innocent woman who runs into a pervert.
- But then you do not understand anything! - The Vanda says: "She has corrupted!"
And if your thirst for domination was asleep inside her?
Kushemski If he was to awaken it?
And if she was simply a woman?
This text brochure looks like an old Austrian misogynist.
He forces her to a game of power and blames.
- It is not so. - That's exactly it.
- How? - Do you think the end. - Yes
Vanda says to whip him to the greek...
Kushemski .. then leave there with his cock in hand...
.. and it would be his fault even though he was the one to want ?
No, I think that the small Kushemski has the hots for the greek.
I wonder how it can be bitchy at this point.
How can interpret so well Vanda...
.. and be bitchy at this point?
Stupid actress of cock!
What a bitch!
<Fuck!
<I'm sorry. - Excuse me?
<I'm sorry, I did drag .
Yes, but what is said is said.
Let's say that the meaning of the play is "beware of your desires."
<Since you could knock on his door...
.. you do not take the piss out of a goddess: here is the argument of the play...
.. so to speak.
<So to speak.
What is the modern way of saying "so to speak"?
"Type".
If you say so.
Luckily goddesses do not exist otherwise she would be in deep shit.
Okay, you're right.
Okay everything he says.
<Can we... can we continue?
Please Vanda.
You do not understand that will never be safe in the hands of a woman?
Whoever she is.
We are two adventurers, Vanda.
Let's explore the limits of human nature.
She is sick.
It has been poisoned by the countess now suffers the effects.
- But she adores effects like me. - No. ..
- She likes to have complete power over me. - No.
His desires are orders.
?, Or beg, crawl at his feet.
Do with me what he wants.
She is a mad visionary, a fanatic.
Is willing to do anything, to realize his dream.
- But my dream is you. - Get away from me, Séverin.
Before it is too late.
- Do you love me? - I do not know.
Decide, do something to be convinced.
- How? - Doing what they do all lovers.
- Let me suffer. - This disgusts me.
And I hate to pretend.
I'm not the countess, her aunt. I am myself.
Repeat the joke, the challenge.
I'm not the countess, her aunt. I am myself.
- Again, get angry! - What do you want from me, Thomas?
I'm not his fucking aunt, I am! What do you want?
- I do not know. - Ln this time it is no longer the play.
- I want a lot more. - But I'm not her.
I'm just a poor bitch who needs to work on.
And I'm his aunt, I am me. Okay so?
Yeah, okay. Very well.
I can not do this part. It 'too hard.
Do not go, please.
Say "I beg you."
I beg you.
- She is tremendous. - I'm completely in his power.
Liar, she is not in my power, I am to be in his hands.
<Rumored to be my slave but it is she who dominates me.
- It 's true is not it? - What?
He does not stop to say that she has the power but he's got.
The more he submits the most dominating.
E 'complex, yes.
Here is the contract that we talked about.
Establishes that she agrees to test of total submission.
It will be my slave.
Completely give up its identity.
His body, his soul, his honor will belong to me.
Forever.
Sign bottom.
Well?
I thought my commitment would last a year.
- Try to dictate its conditions? - Can I re-read the contract?
Why do not you trust me maybe?
Sign .
Well.
From now on you will call me lady...
.. and I will speak only when authorize.
You will serve me meals my orders and will wait in the hallway.
In the morning I'll dress and I'll dress in the evening.
Bring me socks and I put my shoes.
- I'll call him Thomas. - You Gregoir in the text.
I changed it. Henceforth, I will call Thomas.
You will bring the uniform home with my coat of arms.
- And as a gentleman... - You have to keep your word.
Do not have signed a contract which states that you are my slave?
- But not your slave, your servant. - The difference escapes me.
- Is it a game? - This is what I am.
I'm Stubborn, strong-willed, greedy...
.. and when I start something, arrival until the end.
The more I do resistance, the more I persist.
But, deep down, its nature is noble.
What do you know about my nature aside what you think you know?
Please forgive me, I was despicable.
Give me your passport and your money.
- Ma .. - give it to me!
Tomorrow we leave for Florence.
It will travel in first class, you instead in third.
- Ln the third class? - You will eat and sleep with the servants.
- What is it, Thomas? - Where will this end?
In the end? We have not even started.
But Vanda, I...
She slaps him...
.. kisses...
.. caresses the cheek...
Did I hurt you, my dear?
Yes, deliciously evil.
Well.
What did you learn about the beautiful greek?
His name is Alexis, is an earl.
- It's beautiful, is not it? - Ah, it's fascinating.
Kushemski I said I had a crush on him.
I have to take a stage next to his work for tonight.
I will allow you to Count Alexis to seduce me.
Ah, but Vanda...
What is it? I am not free to do what I please?
- She turns me on. - Silence, dog!
Bring me a rod of birch wood.
He carries a rod...
Listen to this hiss?
This sound vibrates my nerves like a tuning fork.
I have only one desire: hear you groan under the blows.
Feel Herr Doktor Kushemski that I crave...
.. crying like a little girl, my heart leaps in my chest.
The air is hot.
What have you done? What have you done? Bla bla bla bla bla bla!
How bla bla bla? ? No. What do you mean?
Vanda turns into evil witch.
Air glowing, my nerves are a tuning fork...
We lightning and rolls drum while we're at.
Tom, I like her so much.
I like it much, but this is already seen and reviewed.
What do you mean?
The play is... my play!
E 'an extraordinary and no one will make me change my mind.
Damn!
You do not know anything...
I do not believe, I refuse to demolish my work...
.. She recites in the play or not! Go to hell.
Okay, it's you who decides.
She takes a knife and puts it to his throat.
God, how I hate you.
What does it do? What's going on?
Do you think I do not understand your joke?
Do you think you can use me, I could subdue...
I do not want anything of the kind, I swear.
If you only knew How long delicious sensation.
You know what?
I'll come to the Labour Court...
.. since he has not yet decided if I will get this part.
- I'd like to give her the part. - This says now.
Can put it in writing? CELLPHONE RINGS
Wait, I'm sorry.
- Yes? - Fuck you, Marie-Cécile!
No, I'm still here.
- I have things to finish. - It's fucking!
< I buggers on all fours on stage. - Soon.
I fucks like a Labrador in heat!
You start eating without me, then I come.
Okay. But it is a bit advanced ' leg of lamb yesterday?
I'll call you when I leave and then... A after, yes.
Yeah, okay.
I do not know.
I'll be back when I get back, okay?
Fuck you. Hello.
- Excuse me. - There was no one on the other side, right?
<How? - He pretended.
- She pretended to talk to someone. - I was talking with my sweetheart.
- Who is this guy? - Who says it's a guy?
And why did you pretend?
<According to her?
I did not pleasure that I have answered the phone.
Type "female revenge"? Or something like that?
<Something like this, yes.
Any other director I would have already jumped on him.
- I am not "any other director." <Bullshit.
If he thought he could, he would have already done .
Not true.
<Though I him I allowed?
How did he know all those things Marie-Cecile?
<I met her at the gym. - But look a little '!
He ??seemed very nice and then it's just beautiful.
We were talking while we were changing in the locker room...
.. Series "talks between girls."
I told her I'm an actress...
.. But I also do the private detective, to try to riciclarmi.
And she tells me about her boyfriend.
A very mysterious type, a writer.
It gives me a bit 'of money to investigate him...
.. to find out who it is, if the seriously love, things like that.
I'm about prenuptial...
with research on criminal record and financial status.
I have to meet her later at a hotel...
.. for a full account.
Has a nice body, huh? Congratulations .
She is amazing!
- When a man tells me so sniffing a trap. - Touché.
- Marie-Cécile is never shower at the gym. <Ah, is not it?
Yet it was wet.
<Let's finish?
Yes
<Put this.
<Thomas, you made me wait. - I'm sorry, ma'am.
I cleaned the silverware.
You really stylish with wearing the livery.
- Thank you, ma'am. - Turn around.
Definitely irresistible.
I might even forget that you are a servant.
- But something is missing. - This comes from where? It's not on...
Unexpected.
Missing something.
Yes, really chic!
The icing on the cake.
- It's nice? - It is very nice lady.
I could almost fall in love with you when I see you with this seal.
"Almost fall in love"? This means that it does not love me!
I get bored, whine constantly.
You Count? Is he?
He's In love with him?
He followed up in Florence!
He does not love her. The wish, as he wanted a thousand others.
Breed insolent. How dare you speak to me in that tone?
- Bring me my boots. - Yes, ma'am.
Not there in the bag... idiot.
Yes, ma'am.
From now on you will call me mistress. It is more degrading.
Yes, Mistress.
<Do you like my boots?
Yes, Mistress.
<Do you like them?
Yes, Mistress.
<To my legs.
Yes, Mistress.
Tomorrow will tie, maybe to the fig tree that stands in the garden...

This you would like?
Yes, Mistress.
I am very pleased with you, Thomas.
I might even give you a piece of candy.
Can I help still useful?
Yes, one last thing.
Call your Marie-Cécile tonight and tell her not to come back home.

Hangs up and turn off your cell phone.
Do not you feel great?
Collision here the two of us together...
This place is so nice.
And also so quiet.
- I do not know even where I am. - But think about it.
A new life ahead of you, to us.
There's just us.
We and his friend, the Count.
Stop bothering me speaking to him.
Do not punish enough, here's the problem.
Just when I wanted to take her in his arms.
She was going to... really?
Come on.
Come here.
Take me in your arms.
See?
For an hour I'll let you imagine to be free.
At the end you will understand that you are what I want.
An animal.
object.
An empty space to fill.
No, I will not allow it.
- I will not, I refuse. - I beg your pardon?
- I wrote her a letter. - A letter?
A letter of goodbye, maybe.
The degradation claiming you, you've already become unbearable?
The degradation claiming you...
I can not recite this passage.
- I do not see that happening. - How would it be?
Yet it is clear enough.
What should I do? In your head as you see the scene?
But it is the time when... What was the joke?
- "I wrote her a letter." - A letter...
A letter of goodbye, maybe?
- The degradation claiming you... - Lay down a bit '.
The degradation claiming you, you've already become unbearable?
You have to hear him for days...

So? Where is it?
Show this masterpiece.
A little 'fun would not make me sick.
That's fine, Tom. Are you strong.
You should do you Vanda.
No, no...
But yes!
You have to be Vanda.
You understand his character better than me, you created her...
.. you know her intimately.

But as usual your best is not up to par.

The Count Alexis will arrive at any moment.
- But mistress... - If you do not like it, you can leave.
Far from my sight.
His fur, mistress.
He will marry the Count Alexis, Mistress?
I will not lie anymore, Séverin. That man makes me shudder.
Great!
Wait!
Seat.
Lives in my thoughts, I can not drive it away.
- I'm suffering. - You're magnificent.
- Still love this suffering. - Get up and come a little 'later.
If you ask me to become his wife, I will say yes.
You are magical.
You know it's very jealous of you?
I told him everything about the two of us.
It probably has threatened to kill her.
Ln fact...
- The Count hit her? <Yes
- The left do? <Yes, and it was sublime.
More intense.
- Yes, and it was sublime. - Even more intense.

I tear your heart, throw it to the dogs!
That she is cursed!
- What is cursed! <Yes, kill me Séverin!
I'm sick of this comedy.
What is comedy?
But how can you love me? I was terrible with her.
I have done everything to save her...
.. to heal, to show her how much I love her.
There was nothing for it?
None.
It was just a game? A play? And the contract?
Oh, the contract...
My little, sweet, silly...
Séverin, I loved her from the first moment.
I could not tell you why they are not who you think.
?, Or are weak, are lost... do not you understand?
Not bad.
I who should be submissive.
I who should be whipped and tied up.
<I think it will tie the statue with a pair of your socks.
<That's What you want, right? - Yes, I beg you.
Do with me what he wants.
- Promise to never leave me. - I'll never leave you, I swear.
Ln feet.
The hands?
Dream this moment ever since I met her.
Louder, louder.
I humble.
I mortify, subdue me, I implore .
Very well, Tom.
It should be really good.
This is great. But you know what is the problem?
Whatever we say or do, this piece is degrading.
It is an insult to women. You pornography.
- But what is he saying? - A damsel in distress...
.. a poor defenseless bitch who humbles himself before a man:
"Beat me, hurt me, I'm just a woman."
Holy cow!
- Damn! - Of the strong emotions?
Okay.
"No longer see this kind of anger to the present day."
But Vanda...
Thank me.
Thank you.
Thanks to whom?
Thank you, mistress.
Starlet thought you could dupe stupid, huh?
- To use it to satisfy your inclinations sick? - No.
