La Prisonniére
The Nickel Cinema117-119 Clerkenwell Road, London
Wed 7 Oct · 21:00
About this event
Set within the sleek, decadent world of Parisian galleries and underground fetish clubs, a young woman becomes entangled with a manipulative photographer whose erotic power games blur the line between performance and imprisonment. What begins as fascination curdles into psychological captivity as she finds herself both subject and spectator in a labyrinth of desire. A cool, hypnotic study of control and obsession, La Prisonnière stands as the final film of Henri-Georges Clouzot. Awash in pop art colors and disorienting compositions, it transforms erotic fixation into a sleek chamber of mirrors, where liberation and confinement become indistinguishable and every gaze conceals a trap.
