Amazing movie!

I love this film that I just saw and had to write about it!It's Lynn's experience, I just find her so intriguing. And the way the camera follows her as she goes about her occupation as a hotel-room cleaner; it gives this person, Lynn, intriguing significance in her normalcy. I found her as charming a character as Amelie! (from that well known French movieThe thread with Lynn's sexuality was good but I found Lynn herself more intriguing, and I found the possibility of lesbian intimacy with this other woman for Lynn and them, more interesting than the BDSM.Thoroughly interesting character presentation here, guided by the camera's intriguing focus on this woman. Worth it!

Intriguing German film of BDSM and the lure of voyeurism

Lynn has 'issues' she is being treated for her condition and has a job as a maid at a nice hotel. She is a very hard worker and is obsessive compulsive. Cleaning is her ideal job and she excels at it. She hos has desires, which leads her to doing things that she may not have done with enough time to think.She also is a voyeur; in that she hides in the guests' rooms to observe what they get up to, and I do not mean which channels they want to watch on the television either. Then one day she experiences an encounter between a dominatrix and her client and she is inexorably drawn to the exotic and alluring creature – and so begins her journey.Now this is a film that will appeal to as many as it repels in that it is about sexual unorthodoxy but is not a sex film per se. It is a very good and even intimate exploration of lust and desire and the fetishistic side of human nature. It is well made and acted and has those moments where very little appears to be happening but that helps juxtapose the mundanity of the ordinary as it segues into the extraordinary in other peoples ordinariness. In German with good sub titles this is for you if you enjoy films that area bit left field and as such recommended.
