in a claustrophobic interior with a white shaggy carpet and a renaissance painting overlooking the film was a psychodrama of love and power in five acts. a fashion designer after two failed marriages falls madly in love with a calculating younger woman as her besotted silent housekeeper watches on helplessly. like the mannequins all around them the actresses pose as representations of characters in the endless cycle of manipulation and obsession that make us fall hopelessly in love, and help us to use all means of devious emotional blackmail to imprison the objects of our desire.
