Venus in Fur

Roman Polanski created a manic adaptation of 'Venus in Fur' in translating David Ives' acclaimed stage play to French and casting wife Emmanuelle Seigner alongside Mathieu Amalric. It's a verbose production that does more than merely meditate on gender dynamics; it explicitly and gleefully deconstructs them, if you can keep up with tantalizingly swift banter between its two stars.

Though Roman Polanski has set his sights on 'D,' which tells the true-life story behind the Dreyfuss affair, the filmmaker has alrady found another project to work on -- an adaptation of the sexy, darkly comic Off-Broadway play 'Venus in Fur.'
