When petty thief Olivier (played by a youthful Gérard Depardieu) breaks into an unassuming Parisian apartment, he inadvertently enters the world of leather-clad dominatrix Ariane (Bulle Ogier), who entertains clients in her black marble dungeon. Olivier's fascination with Ariane soon turns to love, forcing him to question his own assumptions about sex, perversion and power. Barbet Schroeder's controversial film features graphic scenes of torture and fetishism and was confined to a handful of club cinemas on its original release. (British Film Institute (BFI))
