Neither project got off the ground and Menth – la bienheureuse remains von Trier’s solitary stab at the erotic classic. In the same year he was accepted to the National School of Denmark as a directing student.īoth Histoire d’O and the works of de Sade made a lasting impression and around 1990 von Trier had serious plans of adapting de Sade’s Justine and Reage’s Story of O for the screen. The reason for the omission was not censure and nothing fundamental is missed in this English version.)Ĭurious black & white homage to Reage and Story of O directed with style by Lars von Trier. Lars von Trier was a twenty one old year student and member of the Filmgruppe 16 (an amateur nonprofit association) when he made Menthe – la bienheureuse in 1979. They include some dialogues between René and O and some nudity of the latter.

(A word about “cut” and “uncut” versions: In the English language version about 8 minutes are omitted. Shown for the first time in London December 1999 (with a Camden Council 18 certificate for a short run at the ABC Leicester Square) 24 years after its British ban. Music: Pierre Bachelet with Corrine Clery, Martine Kelly, Alain Noury, Udo Kier and Anthony Steele. Directed by Just Jaekin, based on Histoire d’O. It is the only erotic film in our house – the rest are just so bland.”įr/Ger.

One satisfied customer wrote, “The quality of the film is first class, it is well acted, and is a classic. A departure from the book comes at the close, when O claims her due from Sir Stephen, providing a happy ending. It is a much maligned but wholly praise worthy film version of the Réage novel with Bond-girl Corrine Clery suffering at the hands of her ‘lovers’.Ī dreamlike atmosphere pervades the whole footage, helped by careful illumination, filters and of course the excellent score by Pierre Bachelet (that recalls briefly Listz’s “Dream of Love”, a very fit inspiration, with its blending of sensuality and religiosity). Finally, a film, The Story of O, was made in 1975 by director Just Jaeckin. It is said, for a very long time, French director Henri-Georges Clouzot dreamt of adapting the novel.

Historical Note: In 1970, Alan Klein – who was the manager of the Beatles and Rolling Stones – proposed to the singular Alexander Jodorowsky to film Story of O, and tempted him with a million dollar contract For some reason, Jodorowsky fled negotiations to work on a script for Dune. Anger maintains, “So despite the film not being finished, there actually remains twenty minutes at the Cinemateque Francaise. Permission to film Histoire d’O had been granted by both Jean Jacques Pauvert and ‘Pauline Reage’ who had requested, “as long as it’s like a private thing, for a few people.”Īnger thought it could be done like a ‘poetic film’, – “Well, Story of O would have been beautiful because I was doing it in the style of Robert Bresson, like Les dames du Bois de Boulogne which is very understated.” Anger maintains the collectors’ item was produced in a designed box, “It’s a 400ft can which fits inside a fake book.” Each edition carried a simple title and edition number, “In a sense, it was my exercise in snobbism.” Anger had planned the film to be longer but the finance dried up after the girl’s boyfriend, who offered to pay for the film, was jailed for a kidnapping (the boyfriend had been one of the kidnappers of Eric Peugeot, heir to the Peugeot car company fortune). Story of O is one of these and starred a nineteen year old girl who was set upon rebelling against her high society family by appearing in Anger’s movie. In an interview Kenneth Anger recalls having made four ten minute films sold to a small handful of collectors in France and Germany. Directed by Kenneth Anger – unfinished (apparently survives as a short film in the collections of a small number of connoisseurs).
