Things come to a head when Jean is invited into Clare's torture chamber, where Anne is pierced with hot needles and whipped on a medieval-looking contraption before being penetrated by Jean. Anne announces that she is leaving Claire.
The next morning, Claire visits Jean dressed as Anne and confesses her love for him after he orders her about and then screws her. The enigmatic ending raises a number of questions as to what has gone before. Was Clare using Anne as a way of seducing Jean? When we first meet Clare, Jean's narration suggests that her invulnerable nature put paid to his desire for her — was Anne really a role Clare played all the while, an invention the two of them have come up with in order to make their relationship work?
This makes retrospective sense of the early scene in which Clare shows Jean a number of images of Anne followed by an image of an unnamed other woman, who by implication is herself. Is the action of the film a visualisation of the content of their sado-masochistic game? This would suggest that the masochistic woman is a willed character the female subject in a heterosexual sex-game invents in order to satisfy her own and her partner's needs.
There is no hardcore penetration shots, but there is non-simulated fellatio, cunnilingus and urination. The torture sequences are probably simulated, yet they pack a visceral intensity which may well have physical and emotional affects on the viewer, as well as raising various issues of feminism and power in representational and actual sado-masochism.
The film is beautifully shot and directed by one of Metzger, one of erotic cinemas most advanced and professional stylists, but its visual beauty and technical acumen won't story some commentators dismissing the film as mere filth. Yet the film deserves to be treated as a serious cinematic account of a type of sexuality which may not be mainstream but which many viewers, male and female, will have an attraction towards.
As a piece of s cinema, the film now offers some amusement in terms of its costumes and music. Yet some of the images are intense and almost surreal in their power — Anne urinating on the rose, or erotically fingering a rosebud, are moments which offer a cinematic equivalent of the writings of Bataille or even the paintings of Georgia O'Keefe.
As one of the few Golden Age of Porn available in a remastered DVD with an excellent transfer in a widescreen aspect ratio Synapse's edition , it does offer a particularly good insight into the possibilities that 70s narrative porn were exploring in terms of hardcore elements combined with mainstream production values.
The producer try to produce message or maybe not but chick looks good anyway. As action is supposedly in Paris, France it hides lack of imagination. As usual for nonsense nobody work, everybody having good time except me expecting imagination, plot, music--basics, but, luckily, I downloaded it for free proving you get what you paid for. Yes, La Bonne is much better as any Italian flick in general. Roberts can do more with her eyes than Brooke is a luscious slave girl who is absolutely believable, the male lead is nice looking and enjoys his work, the poor dear.
Brooke is the "hottie" but Roberts has the heat. One of the best erotiques I own. Considering that this film was made in it shows more brutality than I had expected. The story itself is paper thin. What these characters do besides their chosen lifestyle doesn't seem to be of any importance to the story.
Anne is a very pretty and obvious object of desire for her Mistress and male friend. Claire is a rather off-putting woman that enjoys abusing Anne.
Jean is the guy that provides the male sex object. Anne is abused and humiliated in a number of ways by both of her "lovers". More brutal than anything else I have seen from the mid 70's. As seen by the other reviews some really like it and some hate it. The production values and the acting are good. YAS 13 November Most directors of 'erotica' concentrate on gynecological close-ups to the exclusion of all else; Metzger's hallmark has always been to tell the story and explain the characters by relying as much on the actors' eyes as on the dialogue.
Would I show this film to Grandma? But then, that's just MY grandma, who knows, yours may have a side you never suspected. I feel like I have to put something against all the glowing reviews of this film. I acknowledge that it has to be seen in the context of its time, when it probably wasn't possible to produce erotica above the level of B-movies, but still the film is far from being a masterpiece.
The cinematography is adequate, but nothing special. The soundtrack and voice-over narration are cheesy and uninspired. The performances of Carl Parker and Marilyn Roberts are quite wooden. Parker appears more like a brute than a writer and refined member of society, and Roberts is not only cold but also utterly unerotic. Mary Mendum's performance is better, and it is the only thing that carries the movie, in some of her scenes I actually believe her being submissive.
But there are other scenes, especially when she lingers ponderingly in front of the cupboard holding the instruments of her torture, where it remained completely mysterious to me what is supposed to be going through her mind.
But the main thing, and to me fatal for an erotic movie, is the lack of chemistry between the protagonists. Anne gets off on pain, but she seems to be indifferent as to who inflicts it on her, and Claire gets off on inflicting pain, but she doesn't seem to care about Anne.
There is a lot of skin contact, fellatio, cunnilingus, vaginal penetration, there is a lot of instrumentation being applied — but I never had the impression that these people truly touch each other. And while I understand Jean's sexual desire for pretty Anne, I don't see at all why in the end he would fall for Claire, who for all her libertinism comes across as extremely closed off.
Oh and finally: Didn't they seriously not have any nicer lingerie in s Paris? Anne's garter belt looks like a few elastic bands stitched together by an amateur. Very erotic wade 15 May I bought several erotic movies for my girlfriend and me and out of all of them I have found this one to be the best so far. The DVD has some scenes where there are lines in the picture but they do not take away from the movie, for being such an old movie it transferred well to DVD.
I have to admit that I did not think that the movie would get so explicit in some of the scenes, but I think that just made it even better. If you want a very erotic movie then this one is great. There are some scenes that are a little annoying, like screaming for five or so minutes, but overall it is great. And do not forget to hide your IP in order to remain safe from getting trapped for indulging into illegal activities.

Bored playboy Jean, while mingling amongst a group of wealthy socialites at a literary party, spots Anne, a ravishing blonde that immediately wants to know her better.
Also at the party, and looking equally as bored, is Claire, an old friend of his who he approaches so that he learn more about this beautiful and mysterious blonde.
He is quite surprised to find out that they are an item, as he had no idea that Clair swung that way. Turns out that Claire is the mistress of young Anne and she begins to draw Jean into her world of sadistic pleasures. Claire is a strong and powerful force, cold and cruel, while Anne's submissive nature hides a volcanic desire that hints at who is actually in charge of this relationship.
Then there is Jean, who is so drab and boring that it almost hurts to watch him on screen. The nature of Claire and Anne's relationship becomes quite apparent to Jean when they visit a public garden and Claire orders Anne to steal a rose, and hide its thorny stem under her garter, then made to squat and pee right in front of him.
Later Claire forces Anne to perform many sexual acts with Jean as well, adding more moments of humiliation for Anne, but when we see the twinkle in her eyes we know that she is getting more out of this than her tormentors are. Beyond The Story of O! Did you know Edit. Trivia Mary Mendum was the director's girlfriend at the time.
Goofs After Anne breaks the bottle, moments later she walks on the floor barefoot and no one has cleaned up the broken glass. Soundtracks Image by Brian Bennett. User reviews 20 Review. Top review.
So the question is, was Anne punished? Oh yeah. You can bet your ass Anne was punished in this movie. The Punishment of Anne aka The Image is a moderately sleazy film, but done in a sexy way. Usually when I think "sleazy" it reminds me of gritty, exploit flicks with a rape or two. But not here, TPoA has it's share of sleazy scenes, but overall like I said, it exudes more sexiness. Not being a big fan of porn I really can't fill you in on any historical importance of this movie. I can't even tell you if this is one of the better old school porns out there.
Nevertheless I can tell you that this movie has a good amount going for it.
