criticism

“Conventional creative documentary film about varieties of sadomasochism, which allows three exposed representatives of the scene to have their say, clearly demonstrates practices and tries to bring the life and pleasure philosophies of those portrayed closer. He certainly addresses people with a normally oriented sexuality, but in his endeavor to emphasize the alleged normality of such practices inevitably encounters incomprehension and contradiction. "
