The Games of Countess Dolingen(1981)

Original title: Les Jeux de la Comtesse Dolingen de Gratz

This complex and puzzling French drama walks the fine wavering line between the fictional and the very real as it tells the tale of a strangely erotic event in the life of a little girl and the musings of a schizophrenic woman. Also involved is an enigmatic spouse who prepares a surprise for a burglar.
