Question about the Necrophiliac Duke...


Was their meeting arranged by Madame Anais, or was Severine working on her own that day?

reply

Was she even there?

in my opinion,we'll never know if that was real or just another fantasy of Severine,but the cats are mentioned in the beginning when she's going to be punished,then again on the coffin scene,and once again at the end before he reaches the window...so all is connected and left to free interpretation.
i've seen the movie again two days ago and had lots of laughs in the scene at the restaurant,when they go under the table....of course i dont know what i laughted about.....but loved it

reply

yeah what was that scene about under the table? I didn't get it (I've missed about half of the movie)

reply

Also the two coachman are the same as from the first scene/fantasy.

I thought it was arranged by Madame Anais. but was probably all a dream/fantasy
