She
locks him inside her house, in a secret boudoir to give him
the opportunity to paint as he wishes. She gives him canvases
and brushes, dresses him with the finest silk from China, everyday
she spoils him with the most sugary pastries and washes him
cerimoniously and sensually. He becomes at the same time her
lover, her child, her double, her wife and her sexual toy.
But
this paradise will eventually be destroyed... |

Beatty is a reknown filmmaker dealing in the lesbian, fetishist
and erotic esthetic. Boy in a Bathtub is her first feature film
and her first film including dialogue. Shot splendidly as "erotic
noir", this queer drama shows a universe where genders are
switched and the barriers between love and dependency are blurred. |
