VENUS IN FUR (2014)
Starring Emmanuelle Seigner and Mathieu Amalric. Directed by Roman Polanski.

Alone in a Parisian theatre after a day of auditioning actresses for the play he is preparing to direct, Thomas is complaining over the phone about the low standard of the actors and is ready to leave when Vanda appears. Vanda embodies everything Thomas hates. She is crude, idiotic, and will stop at nothing to get the part. But when Thomas finds himself backed into a corner and lets her try her luck, he is amazed to see Vanda transformed. Not only has she found the right props and costumes, but she understands the character (whose name she shares) intimately, and knows all her lines by heart. The "audition" lengthens and intensifies, and Thomas’s attraction starts to develop into an obsession...
