The real deal 2008-05-31
One of the true movies that portrays the lifestyle, though in some places a bit extreme which may scare some.

O What A Story! 2008-04-11
I saw The Story of O in the movies when I was 18 or 19 in or around 1980 and was very impressed. This was a time when there was such a thing as an erotic film, that was very very different from porn films. This is a real movie, with lighting, angles and a storyline. It is not just a mindless flesh fest. The main actress Corinne Clery is very beautiful and there alot of other beautiful woman throughtout the whole picture, practically all being seen in the nude. Although sadommasochism isn't my thing, the film still was entertaining to watch. I feel however, that the submissiveness of O, the main character, is not believable for this day and age. This movie may not be for everyone, but along with another erotic movie, Emmanuele, this is a classic of an era.
Wonderful 'erotic' film 
2008-02-09
At the time I thought this was a great DVD. However, there are no 'subtittles' at all. Otherwise, definitely worth having if you are a '007' fan. Thanks.

In the process of "proving her love" for him she gives up everything- even agreeing to be branded -- to provide him with pleasure.

The Story Of O 2007-11-11
Cinema's original sin returns with its shocking portrait of sexual submission from master of erotica Just Jaeckin (Emmanuelle, Lady Chatterley's Lover). Written by Anne Desclos (aka Pauline Reage, Dominique Aury) in 1954. A stunning young woman (Corinne Clery) surrenders herself at a remote chateau at her lover's request and is immediately forced into a round the clock regimen of every sexual appetite imaginable. Her submission is total to the orgasmic odyssey that explores the shadowy boundaries between pleasure and pain. The test is severe - sexual in method, psychological in substance. The most revealing scene is when a young man comes to call on her and sees first hand the whipping, flogging and caning she endures at the hands of her Masters sadistic maid.
In the creation of the movie, a delicate balance had to be maintained between making a beautiful romantic and erotic movie, which it is, and simply a pornographic movie which it is not. Certain scenes had to be removed because they dealt with issues that were to extreme for the public to understand or accept, and also to pass censorship.
This is a must see movie for anyone in the BDSM community. The artistic interest here has precisely to do with the use not only of erotic materials but also erotic methods, the deliberate stimulation of the viewer as a part of and means to a total, authentic movie experience.
I gave it 5 Stars.
Very intense 2007-11-11
Seeing between the nudity and dominent behavior, this movie shows how sexual behavior effects the mind. Preferences, she only had choices.
soft core 2007-09-11
Story of O, the movie, is a softish core redo of the Pauline Reage classic novel: Story of O. While it's fairly true to the book, it does make allowances in order to stay out of the XXX rating area. All in all, however, I'd call it a "must have" for serious collectors.
real bad 
2007-08-13
bad acting and a weak plot. they should have thoght twice about turning a great book in to a bad film.
