Venice: Film Festival – Passion – Brian De Palma. Brian
De Palma’s Passion tells the story of a deadly power struggle between
two women in the dog-eat-dog world of international business. Christine
possesses the natural elegance and casual ease associated with one who has a
healthy relationship with money and power. Innocent, lovely and easily
exploited, her admiring protegée Isabelle is full of cutting edge ideas that
Christine has no qualms about stealing. They’re on the same team, after all...
Christine takes pleasure in exercising control over the younger woman, leading
her one step at a time ever deeper into a game of seduction and manipulation,
dominance and humiliation. But when Isabelle falls into bed with one of
Christine’s lovers, war breaks out. On the night of the murder, Isabelle is at
the ballet, while Christine receives an invitation to seduction. From whom?
Christine loves surprises. Naked she goes to meet the mystery lover waiting in
her bedroom...
