    Je vais essayer écrire mon premier compte rendu en français :)

    J’ai aimé Le Tableu Volé et je me suis vraiment surpris de voir n’importe quelle quantité des commentaires négatives ici en Letterboxd.

    Oui je comprend, il s’agit d’un homme riche qui vend un tableau cher. Et le film nous donne un image des riches pas correspondant à la réel, ou ils sont tous bienveillants. Mais c’est cool imaginer un monde dans lequel c’est possible qu’ils soient comme ça quand…

    Secretary

    ★★½

    This would have been much better if the guy wasn't so weird.

    Once again, Secretary is a film that falls under the cliché of associating BDSM with mental illness. It's also very messy in making a distinction between masochism and self-harm. But the most problematic aspect of the film is that the relationship starts with sexual harassment.

    What I think Secretary does right is presenting BDSM as something more than just a sexual practice, kinda. At the end of the…
