The Elegant Spanking
The Elegant Spanking, a Lesbian Fetish Noir
Maria Beatty’s black-and-white classic tells the story of a lesbian S&M relationship between a Mistress and her Maid, with Rosemary Delain and Beatty portraying Mistress and Maid Kitty respectively in a ‘post-modern romantic subversion’ that feels like a scene from a lost Anais Nin story. Buoyed by John Zorn’s exquisitely fractured score, Delain and Beatty glide through their role-play smoothly and elegantly, so tender and intimate that it reveals the true nature of the women’s dynamic. What Delain and Beatty exchange is stronger than power, it’s something that will linger long after the lovers have parted. subzero6006
The Elegant Spanking, shot back in 1995, is a timeless erotic noir with a gentle silent-era feel.
