Nathalie, a performance artist-stripper, instructs her new friend, the beautiful but inexperienced Sandrine, on the art of seduction. Without delay they put their skills to the test at a Parisian bank, where both rise to the top. But they meet their match in the ruthless son of the bank's president -- a vain, unbridled, power-hungry monster. Reader Reviews Secret Things (Jean-Claude Brisseau, 2002) While I'll rush to admit that Secret Things is the first NC-17 film I've seen to date that actually deserves (by the current film industry's standards) an NC-17 rating, that's the only thing about it that makes it worth watching. Why is it that no one has yet come up with an "erotic thriller" (of the porn/NC-17 variety, I mean) with an actual plot as good as its sex? That is a question that may forever go unanswered, but it's sometimes interesting to document the failures. This one centers on Sandrine (Sabrina Seyvecou) and Nathalie (Coralie Revel), who work in the same strip joint in Paris until they both get fired. They decide to try and find work in a more socially appropriate setting while smashing as many social taboos as possible; the best place to do this, of course, is in an office. Problem is, the guy who runs the company is even more debauched than they are... When a sex film breaks out the long philosophical discussions, you know it's time to hang things up. In this one, it happens within the first half-hour. This is not to say it's not worth watching for the sex, which, while staged, can get pretty steamy at times, but if you're looking for some substance to go with your style, you'd be best served looking elsewhere. Where, I'm not quite sure. But I'm sure it exists somewhere. **
