CGiii Comment

Lepidopterist. S&M. Sound.

Simply, this is art...both visually and aurally.

A relationship that defies definition - in a world devoid of men.

Serious...but, not too serious - there is a wry, wrought humour - that prods gently at the ridiculousness of S&M...for it too requires pragmatism in order to function.

There are enough surprises, plenty of references to films gone by...to keep you guessing.

But...it's the redolent sensuality that will keep you glued.

It is a beautifully crafted film...A veritable feast for the senses.
