The Black Glove

Another fine piece of eroticism from Maria Beatty, who once again plays the submissive. This is very well shot with most effective ambient soundtrack, but whilst even more atmospheric than The Elegant Spanking, is also a little more intense. Not necessarily a problem, of course, but in the area of SM, there is naturally an element of one man's meat being another's poison. For me, then, this is powerfully erotic for about three quarters the film's length and I start to get a bit wary with the genital wax torture(?) and become particularly worried when control/delivery of the air supply is handed over to the mistress. Not a quirk of mine and begins to make me uncomfortably aware of my own breathing. Still, horses for courses and all that and one cannot criticise the fantastic b/w photography and smooth transition of this brave and powerful little film.
