Divinely Evil

About This Movie

So, 'Divinely Evil' is this intriguing documentary that digs deep into the life of a writer who, in her seventies, reflects on her years in the world of sadomasochist literature. It’s set in a salmon-coloured drawing room, which gives off this oddly inviting yet unsettling vibe. The pacing feels intimate, almost like a confessional, as she wades through her turbulent life, switching between her pseudonym and her real self. It really raises questions about the line between truth and fiction, which is pretty fascinating. The storytelling is raw, with an honesty that can be jarring at times. The atmosphere is thick with nostalgia and a kind of defiance, making it a distinctive piece in the realm of documentary filmmaking.
