MAITRESSE

Original French 23 inch x 31 inch Poster for the 1976 Barbet Schroeder Dominatrix Drama MAITRESSE starring Gerard Depardieu, Bulle Ogier, Andre Rouyer, Nathalie Keryan and Holger Lowenadler.

A young provincial in search of adventure stumbles into the subterranean world of sadomasochism when he is implicated in a burglary of a Paris apartment. The apartment’s mistress runs a two-floor operation, all respectability above and a dungeon of punishment-seeking clients below. After the young man becomes her upstairs lover, she finds that the two levels of her carefully controlled existence begin to interfere with each other
