My Mistress | Reviews | Screen

There’s no lack of major talent working on Stephen Lance’s debut
feature. The young director of notable short films and music videos has
recruited leading French actress/beauty Emmanuelle Béart to play the
title dominatrix. And he has wrangled top costume designer Angus
Strathie to provide stunning latex, PVC and leather creations for her;
plus there is veteran cameraman Geoffrey Simpson and editor Jill
Bilcock. Béart plays Maggie, high-class, high-heeled prostitute, dab hand with a
whip, who is somehow marooned in an empty gated mansion with a tangled
rain forest backyard and a swimming pool.
