The Image (1975)

Digitally restored! 

Directed by Radley Metzger

After encountering a mysterious blonde at a literary party, Jean (Carl Parker) finds himself drawn into a world of sadomasochism and domination. The silent siren who leads him there is Anne (Rebecca Brooke), the beautiful sex slave of a middle-aged procuress, Claire (Marilyn Roberts). From the famed rose gardens of Paris’ Bagatelle gardens to Claire’s own “gothic dungeon," director Radley Metzger punctuates his usual high style with hardcore imagery in adapting Jean de Berg’s (a.k.a. Catherine Robbe-Grillet’s) infamous S&M novel to the screen.

Producer: Marty Richards, Gill Champion. Based on the novel by Jean de Berg. Screenwriter: Jake Barnes. Cast: Rebecca Brooke, Carl Parker, Marilyn Roberts.

Blu-ray, color, 89 min.
