This is the best portrait of a dominatrix in a movie that I have seen so far. I love the butler scene. Also like the well-executed slap to Gerard Depardieu's face. The CBT scene is real; it was doubled by a dominatrix friend of the director. She also called in her real slaves for the play party scene, she just told them to show up, they had no idea what was going to happen that day, but they all obeyed. However, this movie has the same plot problem as several other movies, because what the dominatrix (who works for a man) really wants is to be saved by a man who is not submissive to her.
