S&M JUDGE

Directed by Erik Lamens, 2009, Belgium, 84 minutes.

Desperate to save his marriage, a respected judge reluctantly gives in to fulfilling the masochistic desires his wife has been hiding from him for decades.

But when the two are caught up in a police sting, his arrest and trial cause a national scandal. While their activities have been purely consensual, the court views his participation as criminal, putting his job, reputation and family life in jeopardy. (Based on a true Belgian incident.)

SWINGERS

Directed by Stephan Brenninkmeijer, 2002, Netherlands, 93 minutes.

New to swinging, Diana and Julian invite an attractive couple they've met online to visit them for the weekend, and join them in their first experiment with the lifestyle. Their guests, Alex and Timo are confident swingers, especially gorgeous Alex, whose ravishing sexiness intimidates quiet Diana. Timo, meanwhile, seems strangely disinterested, a sharp contrast to the boyish excitement of Julian. But once night falls and their sexual exploration begins, we discover that all is not as it seems. We notice Timo may not be as casual as he initially seemed--and Diana may have more quiet strength in her than she knows.
