The modern fairytale of the sleeping beauty dissects the objectification of women: behind the walls of a closed club, no one cares about the main character’s wellbeing, only her looks, and youth becomes a valuable currency for those who have no money. The club members can do almost any kinky stuff they want with the sleeping beauty, only penetration and violence are off limits. The heroine agrees to work at a closed country club where she is going to be voluntarily sedated and sleep naked while male customers lie next to her. A young girl is in search of quick and good money: and surely, one of the offers leads her to sex work. ![]() It is a kinky story about the eternal attraction of youth and the alienation of women from their sexuality. Piercing is a rare piece of work that shows that BDSM is first and foremost about dynamics of power and mind games, and not the shallow stereotypical latex, heels, and ropes. All we can do is just observe those crazy kinky erotic scenes. We get to see an erotic game intertwine with a psychological duel in which temptation, submission, play, and coercion alternate at such a pace that neither the heroes themselves nor we, the audience, have time to recover. It could have been the perfect murder, except the prostitute who shows up is just as much of a player, a manipulator, and a maniac. He has long been plagued by insomnia, so all the steps of the murder were planned well in advance. In the movie, the protagonist of Piercing, a married man with a newborn kid, tells his wife he’s going on a business trip - but in reality checks into a hotel in the same city to order a prostitute, whom he plans to kill before or during sex. Independent American director Nicholas Pesch films the creation of the Japanese genius Ryu Murakami and presents it tastefully and sarcastically, leaving little to no room for disappointing clichés. “Piercing” (2018), directed by Nicolas Pesce Where Ryu Murakami turns into a black BDSM comedyīDSM themes are very difficult to adapt: A sentence here, a sentence there - congratulations, you are now the author of 50 Shades of Grey. ![]() It’s a riot of the body after living by someone else's rules and obeying to them. ![]() Ducourneau weaves together the themes of a girl's traumatic coming-of-age, sexual awakening, body dysmorphia, and cannibalism, using animal lust for blood as an allegory for rebellion. The heroine discovers an insatiable craving for raw meat, both animal and human. ![]() After the initiation ceremony for the newbies, older students force her and each of her classmates to eat a piece of raw rabbit kidney. Things get even more interesting when you get to Ducourneau’s debut movie Raw - a feminist body horror about a young vegetarian girl’s first year at veterinary school. The main character - who exterminates humans and has compulsive sex with machines - seems to be a reincarnation from Blade Runner and Cronenberg's early filmography. Many people became familiar with Julie Ducourneau’s work after the latest Cannes Film Festival, where Titane (2021), to the surprise of many, won the Palme d'Or.
