SECRETARY (2002)

Cast

Plot

Lee has a tendency towards self-harm, but she's a sweet natured if kooky lass, and upon her release from the asylum she decides to find gainful employment. Edward Gray is a lawyer and Lee's new employer, a man who gets through his secretaries at an alarming rate. Though not immediately apparent the two are made for each other, their repressed psychological, physical and sexual fetishes providing them with a common and mutually attractive bond. The Secretary is a disturbed, quirky and often very funny love story, in fact even the sado-masochism is remarkably tender; In a warped kind of way this is possibly one of the most sweet natured romances that's come out of American cinema in recent years. Excellent.
