Story of O (French: Histoire d'O, IPA: [istwaʁ do]) is a 1975 erotic drama film directed by Just Jaeckin from a screenplay by Sébastien Japrisot, based on the 1954 novel of the same name by Pauline Réage. It stars Corinne Cléry and Udo Kier. A sequel titled Story of O: Chapter 2 was released in 1984.
After returning O to Paris, René takes her to meet his stepbrother, Sir Stephen, who makes O his submissive and “property” in the real world outside Roissy. Following several months of using her, Sir Stephen sends O to a woman, Anne-Marie, to have the permanent marks of his ownership imposed.
In The Story of O, a woman, known only by the first initial of her name, accompanies her adored lover René to the Chateau Roissy where he turns her over to a sadist named Sir Stephen to be trained in the art of perfect submission. O is sexually penetrated in every possible way by a variety of men; she is whipped, beaten, humiliated, and bound.
Part II: Sir Stephen. The apartment where O lived was situated on the Ile Saint-Louis, under the eaves of an old house which faced south and overlooked the Seine. All the rooms, which were spacious and low, had sloping ceilings, and the two rooms at the front of the house each opened onto a balcony set into the sloping roof.
O says, before being sent to see Anne-Marie by Sir Stephen, that “she opened herself in every part of her body which could possibly open” (186) and “that there lay her raison d’etre” (186). In many ways, this comment captures O’s character in the novel.
