如果你对80年代欧洲情色文艺片感兴趣，这部《放荡的女人1984》倒是值得一看。镜头很少离开主角们的室内空间，对话密集而锋利，像剥洋葱一样层层揭开欲望与背叛的真相。Sophie Favier饰演的Maud则提供了一种更主动、更具破坏性的女性视角，让故事不止于单纯的偷欢。不追求戏剧性反转，而是让每一句闲聊都暗藏未说出口的邀请与拒绝。她的丈夫Frank（Charles Beaumont 饰）是退伍军人，沉默寡言，两人之间的裂痕日益加深。Sophie Favier饰演的Maud并非符号化的“放荡”，而是通过指尖颤抖、目光游移的细节，演出一个在自由与依赖间左右失衡的复杂女性。

　　Charlie, a young aristocrat in turn of the century England, meets a boy named Frank on the road to Portsmouth. What Charlie doesn't realize is that Frank is actually Frances, who's donned a disguise to escape working at a brothel. Charlie takes Frank/Frances into his home, and when he discovers her true identity, the two become lovers. He sends her to London to be trained by his mistress in the art of sex, but she learns much more about her identity as a woman. Before the opening credits, explicitly on-screen it reads: "Based on the famous Victorian erotic novel by an anonymous writer".
