La Prisonnière was Henri-Georges Clouzot's last and most conceptual film, and the only one in colour. An ode to the visual aesthetics of the late 60's, La Prisonnière follows similar themes to other pictures of that time, including Antonioni's Blow Up and Powell's Peeping Tom.
The wife of a modern artist discovers the perverse and inclinations of the director of the gallery her husband's work in exhibited in. She witnesses the scenes of sexual submission he photographs, placing women in humiliating poses. Fascinated by this man she too becomes his model and prisoner of his fantasies, trapped in a depraved world with no way of escaping.
