I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

How sad is this?

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

Though "Venus in fur" deals with the concept of sexuality a lot, it is by no means based on cheap erotic. Rather, it unravels the mysterious story of a mysterious woman, appearing seemingly out of the nowhere, having deeper knowledge than she pretends and turning the evening of a posh director upside down.It is of course not the first film in which a play becomes reality, there are several examples, some of which are even more prominent and better known to a wider audience. Yet this approach still has a lot of potential for me and I enjoy it time and again to witness the process. It should be pointed out that in this case the whole film is carried by just two actors, a fact even more puzzling because you don't have a feeling at any time that there should be more involved.Many details are left open in the end. Who is this woman and where does she have her knowledge and equipment from? Is she lying or telling the truth? Which role does the director's wife play? Some might consider it tiring that so much remains unexplained but for once I actually enjoyed ending on a mystery. I don't have a lot of knowledge about Polanski's films, since this is just the second one I've ever seen from him. But I have to say that after the first one really disappointed me, this one gives him back credit as a filmmaker.

It's wonderful to see a film that knows exactly what it wants to be with no pretensions towards greatness. VENUS IN FUR is pure adult entertainment that takes total pleasure in the magnificence of acting. Emmanuelle Seigner is so delicious, loopy, sexy, funny, mean that it hurts (pun intended). Although created for the New York stage, director Roman Polanski totally inserts himself into the action via actor Mathieu Amalric who once again delivers a wonderful screen performance to match Seigner's. The play attempts to take on more than it can chew at the end as the explanations fly but actually the film is much better than that. The point is clear. No explanation needed. It is all overt enough. There is no real depth to VENUS IN FUR, it's about the magic of acting and the world we create around ourselves.

Polanski brings another piece of art that is quite hard to compliment without swearing! That said... Let's try in the most polite way possible! In the stage, both Mathieu Amalric and Emmanuelle Seigner give a terrific performance... Floating between characters, but yet playing only one character each... The dynamic between the actors are amazing... Sensual, honest, believable etc... There was no room for any other character or actor in the scenes... About Tom, he's familiar, a cool guy you know, and for this your fear for his life, for his relationship, still, you would like if he died, or betrayed his love interest... Now about Vanda, there's no way of not loving her, even when you just know her name... She can be the most unlucky person in the world that appears late for an appointment with you or the queen bitch that appears with an unknown objective... Both ways you would kiss her feet with pleasure! the plot is quite mesmerizing and thrilling... The adaptation by Polanski and Ives is very contemporaneous... Making it feel it even more fantastic... Not sure if thats the word i want, but anyway... It was brilliant as Carnage, the last feature film directed by Polanski before Venus... It follows the same recipe with only leading roles and a deep dive into the human nature... Once again, i'll have to talk about how sensual is the whole movie, with one exception... The scene when Venus reveals herself... It's freaky, funny, trying to be frighting (maybe), but not sexy... Even being Emmanuelle Seigner only in fur...

I fund myself sort of dozing off at certain scenes in the film. Whether it was due to a failure of the film or that I was just really tired when i saw it, is anyone's guess. But I had still enjoyed most of it, and once the final act came on, I knew I was watching something special. The performances are exquisite, especially Seigner who I'm sure people who've seen the play will be more than delighted. The final ten minus take on this really dark tone that's completely enthralling, and I should've known where the film was heading. By the time I did, I immediately wanted to rematch the film for more nuances, and as it is right now, I'm sure I will in he near future. Really well- done film.
