My Mistress (2014)
We are all damaged in some way .......
Watched this film via a recommendation from the Amazon lists, and found it a very strange film indeed. It is not one I can describe easily, as it both uplifted me and also brought me down at the same time.
It is - almost - a love story between two damaged and incomplete people, trying to find something that can make them whole, but not knowing at the time, that they are simply running away from reality.
Some stunning images, clothing, and scenes bring the story to great heights, but the ending - although what needed to happen - brought things crashing down, and left me feeling very sad for both of them. A good film overall.
Ex Dominatrix: A True Story (2017)
Life has no safe word
Watched this film with only a very vague memory of the actual events back in 2010. There are many words that spring to mind whilst watching this; intriguing, shocking, moving, sensual and erotic, but ultimately the two most descriptive words I can think of is uplifting and hopeful in this documentary. It was great to see how Ira dealt with such a sudden and shocking event in the height of her Dominatrix career, and her subsequent transformation into an almost completely (although there are similarities) different lifestyle. It is a shame she has based herself so far away as I could certainly use some spiritual life lessons from her.
