Mano Destra (1986) watch online

Mano Destra (Italian for "right hand") is a 1986 Swiss lesbian sadomasochistic art film written, directed by and starring Cleo Uebelmann. Shot in black and white on 16mm film, Mano Destra is a study of erotic objectification which depicts Uebelmann as a dominatrix tying a woman in a lengthy series of acts of consensual bondage. The film dwells at length on the bound woman tied in a series of positions, in a series of extended almost static shots. The film has music and sound effects, but is without dialogue.

The film is presented as a set of tableux; only at the end do we see the dominatrix and her subject touch.

Images from the film were later published in 1988 as part of a book, The Dominas - Mano Destra by the Cleo Übelmann-Group. Uebelmann was 22 at the time of the film's making.

The music is by the Swiss electro-wave group The Vyllies.
