"Roman Polanksi reaches the highpoint of his artful staging of psycho duels, which he began more than fifty years ago with "Knife in the Water" ("Nóz w wodzie"), with his film "Venus in Fur" ("La Vénus à la fourrure"). Polanski realised a masterful adaptation of Leopold Sacher-Masoch's intimate power and role-playing games with the ingenious actors Emmanuelle Seigner and Mathieu Amalric."
