La marge

Sigismond (Warhol star Joe Dallesandro) enjoys a romantic, sexually fulfilling relationship with his wife, Sergine (Mireille Audibert). In the idyllic countryside, the happy couple raise their young son with the help of their maid, Féline (Louise Chevalier, La Femme infidèle). On a business trip to Paris, Sigismond casually picks up a sex worker (Sylvia Kristel, Emmanuelle). But in the noisy, modern city, their bond soon deepens into a passionate affair, while Sigismond puts off reading a letter from Féline… Starring two major sex symbols, Walerian Borowczyk’s exquisite adaptation of André Pieyre de Mandiargues’ novel balances art and erotica in an embodied meditation on pleasure, love and transactional relationships, soundtracked by 1970s synth rock acts including Elton John, 10cc and Pink Floyd.
