Special Guests: Pola Rapaport, Maya GallusGuest Co-Hosts: Samm Deighan, Jessica Shires
Jessica Shires and Samm Deighan join Mike for a deep, unflinching look at Just Jaeckin’s Story of O (1975), the adaptation of Pauline Réage’s notorious novel. Corinne Cléry embodies O with startling vulnerability as she’s led by her lover René (Udo Kier) into the secretive Chateau at Roissy -- an isolated world of ritual, discipline, and erotic power exchange.
The conversation opens up the film’s legacy, its aesthetics, and its complicated relationship to the source text’s authorship and mythology. The episode also features two illuminating interviews: Pola Rapaport, director of The Writer of O, discusses the real story behind Dominique Aury and the creation of the literary sensation; and Maya Gallus, director of Erotica: A Journey Into Female Sexuality (1997), explores the film’s place in a broader lineage of women’s erotic expression, taboo-breaking, and cinematic desire.
