Corrine Clery plays 'O', a photographer who is taken by her boyfriend Rene (Udo Kier) to a sado-masochistic den where she willingly submits to physical and sexual abuse. 'O's motivation was much more obvious within the novel, but here it is secondary to the titallating spectacle of soft porn. Clery is not really the ideal 'O', either, her looks being too idealistic and her acting just too bad.
After a spell in the academy which serves to turn her into a total submissive she is practically sold on to Sir Stephen (50s pin-up Anthony Steel, of all people!) who is even more depraved and dominating than anyone else she has met. Perhaps the strongest sections of the film concern 'O's relationship with Sir S, but I wasn't convinced by the changed ending (powerful though it was from a movie standpoint). The cinematography is also attractive, particularly in its use of colour, and the French language version adds a certain mystique to the story.

Narrator: O felt defiled and guilty at having found pleasure in the arms of a stranger. But later, her lover explained that he felt the more he gave her to others, the dearer she was to him. The fact that he could, was the proof that she belonged to him.
Rene: One can give only what really belongs to you.
O: Hmm?
Rene: No, don't speak. You heard yesterday that as long as you are here, you are not to look a man in the face. Nor speak to him. From now on, you'll observe that rule with me as well. You are mine, but before you enter the world of silence, it is important to me you say two words, no more. It's the name of the person for whom I brought you here... and that you'll meet soon, I swear.
[whispers into her ear:]
Rene: Sir Stefan.
O: [repeats reverently] Sir Stefan.
- Alternative VersionenThe Story of O was initially banned in the UK in 1975, but cinema and video/DVD releases were passed by the British Board of Film Classification in 2000. The censors themselves did not make any cuts to this dubbed version, but around 8 minutes of non-sexual narrative scenes were removed by the director for pacing reasons. The fully uncut, subtitled version has played in the UK on the subscription channel FilmFour.
