At a cocktail party, writer Jean (Carl Parker) meets an old
acquaintance, Claire (Marilyn Roberts), only to become immediately
fascinated by her friend, Anne (Mary Mendum). Soon he finds out Anne is
actually Claire's slave, and he is even invited to be the audience to her
diverse punishments and degradations. At first he is a bit puzzled about
that, but soon enough he starts to enjoy it and even take part in it, be
it as the man behind the whip or the receiver of a blowjob.
But the more Jean gets into tghese little S/M games, the more he
realizes he actually longs for Claire, until during one torture session,
he tries to kiss her. Claire loses her cool, pushes him away, and after
she has regained her composure, she whips Anne even more mercilessly than
usual and even uses needles on Anne's naked body. After she's done though,
Jean is so heated up that he rapes Anne. Upon seeing that, Claire loses
her cool all over again and starts whipping Jean, who puts up some defense
though and ends up strangling her ... and he might have killed her too,
wasn't it for Anne who breaks a bottle on his head.
Both enraged and disappointed, Jean leaves ...
By now, Anne has been pushed too far, and she does the one thing in her
power to hurt Claire ... she leaves her.
The next morning, Claire comes to Jean to apologize, and soon enough,
she finds herself having become his slave ...
Yes, this film is every bit as sleazy as it sounds, and it goes pretty
far in terms of explicity - while the actual fuck-scenes are most probably
fake, several blow-jobs and other dirty games are very real. Yet having
said that, The Image is exactly not just another piece of
sleaze: For one, the film is very elegantly shot (without ever denying its
seedy subject matter), with the Paris-exteriors of course of course
helping a great deal. An intelligently used music score also helps a great
deal. And finally, the film does not just show sex for the sex' sake but
has an intelligent (if a tad thin) plot and a philosophy to it that is
neither as pretentious nor as vapid as in other erotic features of its
time. At the end of the day, you might even like the film if you're not
into S/M at all.
