Movie recommendation

A must-see 'big deal' movie from 1975 is The Image from director Radley Metzger.
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0073589/?ref_=nm_flmg_dr_9
This is a great watch for several reasons. First, it was based on a good novel The Image aka The Punishment of Ann by Catherine Robbe-Grillet (writing as Jean de Berg). A good novel is a great starting place for any film. If there is interest, I can post the novel in ePub or text format (it's a very good read).
Next, Radley Metzger is a very good and quite prolific director. He knows how to convey a story through images. Furthermore, he's done a bunch of films in the erotic genre - some were great, some just so-so, but he was at the top of his game with The Image. This was cinematographer Robert Lefebvre's last film. With over 130 films to his credit, he knows his way around the camera!
Finally the film has an attractive and quite believable cast - rather challenging considering the story content. And the star, Mary Mendum is very easy on the eyes.

As Claire's slave girl, she was first billed and deserved it. Some of the film's scenes are quite intense and Ms Mendum is up to the acting job. She also did several other revealing films, but she will always be remembered for The Image. This film includes a couple of stripping scenes plus a truck load of other kinks.
There's a 15 minute 'preview' or analysis of the film on Youtube - it may be enough to whet your appetite (or make you join an order of monks). FWIW, either the DVD or BD print of this film is excellent - much better quality than this Youtube thing.

You can buy the film in DVD or Blu-ray format on eBay or Amazon - it's not that pricey.
If you go to bitcq.com and search for "the.image 1975" (without the quotes) there are several torrent prints available. I could not find a complete upload of the film on Youtube.
If you go to libgen.is and search fiction for 'de Berg, Jean' you can download the novel in ePub format.
