 Venus in Furs (1995)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
The beautiful filming in Venus In Furs reminds me of why it was called "glorious fl and white." Claire Mijnals smolders nicely and has a presence similar to Jean Harlow.
Venus in Furs is definitely not a film for everyone and even for "arthouse" lovers, it feels a bit incomplete and emotionally distant.
These questions have been asked before and probably in more emotionally resonant movies, but Venus in Furs is worth a look for those who are drawn to their local fl and white "arthouse" flick.

 Venus in Furs
Venus in Furs is, in many respects, one of the few films Franco has directed in which all the important elements come together.
The role doesn't afford her a great deal of dialogue, but she conveys volumes through her mannerisms and facial expressions - at times her acting is reminiscent of silent film acting, but always in the best sense of the term, without grandiose overstatement.
A fantastic release of Jess Franco's finest film, Venus in Furs promises to be a key DVD release of 2005.

 Amazon.com: Venus in Furs: Books: Leopold von Sacher-Masoch   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
Severin von Kusiemski, a nineteenth century European nobleman, narrates "Venus in Furs." Believing there is "no equality in love" Severin has nourished fantasies stemming from his childhood that involve a beautiful, cold, cruel mistress.
"Venus in Furs" is surprisingly subtle, and multi-layered in its description of the transfer of sexual power, and the politics of the sadomasochistic relationship.
The Penguin Classics version of "Venus in Furs" is elegant, but doesn't engage the reader in the 19th century weirdeness of the book in the same way its contemporary translators managed to do.

 About the novel Venus in Furs by Leopold von Sacher-Masoch
“Venus in Furs” is perhaps the best known work of Leopold von Sacher-Masoch, who wrote a great many more novels, short stories and plays as well as works on history.
As in the novel, he traveled in the third class compartment, while she had a seat in first class, arriving in Venice (Florence, in the novel), where they were not known, and would not arouse suspicion.
He remained all his days an enthusiast, a builder of utopias.” It is in this spirit that “Venus in Furs.” is best understood: as Sacher-Masoch’s vision of the utopia-builders, the regal empress and the loyal slave at her feet, having created for themselves, against the conventions of their day, a utopia of two.

 Venus in Furs - Leopold von Sacher-Masoch - Penguin UK
From the first moment Severin sees Wanda, draped in furs, he is captivated by her beauty, and her cruelty.
He will do anything to please her, and soon desire becomes obsession as they enter into a world of domination, pleasure and pain to which it seems there are no boundaries.
Opposite me, by the massive Renaissance fireplace, sat Venus: not, mind you, some demimondaine who, like Mademoiselle Cleopatra, had taken the pseudonym of Venus in her war against the enemy sex.

 VENUS IN FURS
Jimmy quickly becomes obsessed with this doppleganger, falling in love with her even though he realizes something is terribly wrong.
Appearing to her murderers in a slightly different form — short hair instead of long, a brunette rather than blonde, but always in a fur coat with very little on underneath — Wanda exacts vengeance for the wrong done to her.
Given the grooviness of the score it would've been nice to have it in stereo, although the digital mono track provided is crisp and clear and in no way disserves the music and dialog.

 Monsters At Play: Exorcist: Venus In Furs Review
As Venus opens (that sounds just a little dirty, doesn’t it?), we meet a young American jazz musician (James Darren) in Istanbul who has wandered from his house out onto a beach.
Venus definitely has a very dreamlike atmosphere about it, which is one of its charms; it’s deliberately paced and obsessively observant, which would make it not unusual for a person to get so involved in the delirium of what’s going on that he loses track of the narrative.
While I might not quite consider it Franco’s masterpiece, Venus is nevertheless a solid piece of cinema from a very intriguing artist, presented lovingly in a beautiful new transfer by one of a cult film fiend’s best friends, Blue Underground.

Here Rohm, as the bewitchingly beautiful angel of death, the eponymous "Venus" of the films title isn’t required to do much in terms of acting, however her mesmerising presence is sufficient given the relatively little dialogue which Wanda is required to utter.
Similar in tone to Bava’s Lisa and the Devil with it’s motifs of death, doom and non-linear narrative which drifts in and out of dreams, leading to a tragic conclusion, Venus in Furs is often labelled incorrectly a horror film, which despite some horrific elements, the film certainly isn’t.
In conclusion, without a doubt, Venus in Furs, is truly one of the jewels in the tarnished crown of Jess Franco’s entire cinematic output.

Her white satin dress flows gracefully and picturesquely down her slender body, leaving her arms and breast bare, and carelessly they nestle amid the dark hair of the great fur of sable, lined with green velvet.
"Venus in Furs," I whisper, while she draws me to her breast and threatens to stifle me with her kisses.
Now she stood in front of me with her left hand firmly planted on her hips, in her right hand she held the whip.

 VENUS IN FURS - DVD
Venus in Furs is less a conscious brief against women than it is a drunken stagger through erotic convention, a collection of colourful locations to lounge in with a few topless chicks drifting in cheesy-sensuous slow motion.
As a series of smooth, sexy circumstances, there are more discomforting experiences than Venus in Furs, though the would-be Chris Marker temporal shenanigans get rather old as soon as it's revealed how meaningless they are, and they drag down the sensuality with their ponderousness.

Opposite me by the massive Renaissance fireplace sat Venus; she was not a casual woman of the half-world, who under this pseudonym wages war against the enemy sex, like Mademoiselle Cleopatra, but the real, true goddess of love.
By all means wrap yourself in your despotic furs, there is no one to whom they are more appropriate, cruel goddess of love and of beauty!--After a while I add a few verses from Goethe, which I recently found in his paralipomena to _Faust_.
My hands were running through her hair and playing tremblingly with the gleaming fur, which rose and fell like a moonlit wave upon her heaving bosom, and drove all my senses into confusion.

Most of his films make no sense and serve only to string up a series of nude scenes - some shocking for their time, some not so shocking — and sell the concept off as ’art.’
’Venus In Furs’ matches many of these elements and contains a lot of excessive and superfluous material and nudity.
It is nonetheless by many hailed as Franco’s best work — whatever that means — and watching it on this beautiful DVD from Blue Underground I can see a few interesting moments.
