A
my only desire
, a third feature film in a form of ode to freedom and the consented desire of women.
His film, intimate, chooses the strip club as an arena, however moving away from the sordid image that one can have of it.
No degrading or miserable portrait: the choice to earn money by taking advantage of one's body is assumed and real sorority, without violence or hierarchy between these women.
A modern erotic tale
The trailer for
To my only desire
delivers an immersive and realistic dive into the world of striptease, through the eyes of its protagonist, a young woman who is embarking on this new career.
This modern, erotic and joyful tale is never vulgar.
He observes and questions without judging the desire of women, their assumed fantasies and their naked bodies which are not only the object of male desire.
Without complacency or naivety, Lucie Borleteau raises the limits of such a thirst for freedom, underlining the ambiguity of these women in precarious situations, in search of easy, “quick” money, who sometimes slip into prostitution.
