what am i even supposed to say about this film? i was so emotional while watching it until i finally burst into tears. i don't think i can express how i'm feeling right now in this review.

throughout the whole film you can almost feel some form of sinister presence in every scene. the dark, unsettling tone of the film is just so heavy. the score, the editing, it's all almost too much to take. and it is so painfully realistic which makes it that much harder to watch. even the moments of sisterhood and sparse moments of humor are laced with such deep penetrating sorrow.

on a formal level, i cannot overstate how impressive this film is. it can really go toe to toe with any other period film out there. the music can be anachronistic but still fantastic. i would love to gush about the cinematography and stuff but i'm in no shape to talk about the technical elements. what a devastating film.

Very nicely made film. Acting is great, and the shots really lingers in a beautifully way.
One could argue that the film is a big contradiction with how it chooses to frame its female ensemble, and as much as I can agree with that, I also found the film to have a coherent style that treated all its subjects equal. I don't think the film is vulgar. The film is sexual and erotic, but I wouldn't say inherently sexist. A critique could be that it maybe is too neutral, which could be perceived as being sexist, knowing the director had a opportunity to say something more, or show more respect, but chose not to.

The music is mostly nice, but the film took some not-so traditional choices with the music, which I enjoyed 50/50.

Une ode à la féminité et les exigences patriarcales qui s’abattent sur celle-ci. L’illusion d’un exutoire à travers le bordel. Elle est rattrapée par le désir de monopoliser et dominer les corps féminins. Ils sont mutilés, torturés, et transformés pour s’adapter à ces messieurs. Cachées derrière le satin et le parfum, les femmes s’échappent de leur réalité tragique. Les masques ne peuvent cependant plus les éloigner de ces murs qui les confinent
