Film Preview: Venus in Fur

Roman Polanski returns to the big screen after his 2012 film Carnage, which opened to mixed reviews although I personally loved it, and follows a similar path by taking a popular stage play and adapting it for the big screen. Venus in Fur was originally released at the Cannes Film Festival in the main competition for the Palme d'Or, although some were critical of Polanski for taking up the directing of what is essentially a feminists play.

Adapted from the play of the same name by David Ives, An actress attempts to convince a director how she's perfect for a role in his upcoming production. The film is released in French as the action is shifted from New York to Paris.

Venus in Fur is released in the UK on 13th November 2013.
