Description
An erotic existentialist mystery inspired by the life and works of renowned feminist writer Marguerite Duras. When a disturbed woman brutally murders her housekeeper, she is put into the hands of a powerful criminal psychologist at his private clinic. With the clock ticking towards execution, the drama unwinds as a surrealist fever dream, bristling with psycho-sexual dynamics. In keeping with the life of Marguerite Duras, The Strange Case of Madame D is a work of bold radical art and sexual frankness.
