A milestone of cinematic eroticism, The Story of O was an art house sensation in 1975, and it's still worthy of intelligent discussion. As with the controversial French novella by Pauline Réage, reactions to Just Jaeckin's sumptuous adaptation range from moral outrage to masturbatory indulgence, yet this remains one of the few sex films that stand the test of time (and a lot of academic study). Championed by practitioners of bondage and discipline and vilified by feminists, this metaphorical 'love dream' (as Jaeckin has called it) follows the beautiful fashion photographer 'O' (Corrine Clery) as she, like many gorgeously naked women before her, is 'trained' for a seemingly satisfying life of love and discipline, her freedom sacrificed to the man (Anthony Steel) whom she willingly obeys. The debate whether Jaeckin's feminine-empowerment ending, which differs from that of the novella, justifies a story of humiliating submission is just one more reason why The Story of O endures. (Note: This DVD presents the 97-minute version of the film, edited by the director to improve pacing and not for purposes of censorship.) --Jeff Shannon

Rating:  - Corrine Clery
Not much more to say that others haven't repeated amongst each other, other than the fact to me anyway, Corrine Clery's facial features bear a striking resemblance to that of actress Demi Moore.
Rating: - Good movie, interesting concept.
Enjoyable bdsm lifestyle movie, would watch again, this movie is based on the book (same title) of a young woman taken by her lover to be trained as a sex slave, given to her lover's step brother, is a love story. A classic bdsm item.
Rating: - The real deal
One of the true movies that portrays the lifestyle, though in some places a bit extreme which may scare some.
Rating: - Sexy, Sultry, One of a Kind
What else can I say, if you haven't tried it, you'll never know what your missing.
Rating: - O What A Story!
I saw The Story of O in the movies when I was 18 or 19 in or around 1980 and was very impressed. This was a time when there was such a thing as an erotic film, that was very very different from porn films. This is a real movie, with lighting, angles and a storyline. It is not just a mindless flesh fest. The main actress Corinne Clery is very beautiful and there alot of other beautiful woman throughtout the whole picture, practically all being seen in the nude. Although sadommasochism isn't my thing, the film still was entertaining to watch. I feel however, that the submissiveness of O, the main character, is not believable for this day and age. This movie may not be for everyone, but along with another erotic movie, Emmanuele, this is a classic of an era.
