Ms Kathleen's Movie Review

Screen 7 of 8

It has been said that Director Luis Bunuel had a fetish恋物 — a strong sexual focus on one thing for women’s shoes and feet, often showing close-ups of women in high heel shoes. Perhaps the scene where Charlotte is dominating the professor was Bunuel’s way of expressing his own fetish恋物 — a strong sexual focus on one thing within “Belle de Jour”.

As a dominant woman, I could not relate to Severine’s submissive顺从 — willing to obey fantasies, but I could relate to her desire to live a double life. Having been the Head Mistress女主人 — a woman who leads a submissive partner to a FemDom女性支配 — female domination group as well as being active in the FemDom女性支配 — female domination lifestyle within my own marriage, I kind of live a double life. I am fortunate that my husband is a part of my double life but my family and friends have no idea about my female domination lifestyle and I still have fantasies that I have not shared with my husband. He may one day be the object of some of those fantasies, but then again, maybe not. Just like Severine, not all of my fantasies or fetishes恋物 — a strong sexual focus on one thing involve my husband.

I have never worked at a brothel, nor would I, and while I am not a professional Dominatrix女支配者 — a dominant woman, I have experienced the thrill of being a professional Dominatrix女支配者 — a dominant woman on a few occasions. It is exciting to live a secret life, a life the people who know you the best would never guess in a million years. The key to a secret life is that you don't venture too far into the deep that you cannot safely return to the secure ground of your regular life.
