Histoire d'O - Pierre Bachelet

Histoire d'O is an erotic novel written by French author Anne Desclos under the pen name Pauline Réage, with the original French text published in 1954 by Jean-Jacques Pauvert. Desclos did not reveal herself as the author until 1994, 40 years after the initial publication. Desclos stated she wrote the novel as a series of love letters to her lover Jean Paulhan, who had admired the work of the Marquis de Sade. The novel shares with the latter themes such as love, dominance, and submission.

French director Henri-Georges Clouzot wanted to adapt the novel to film for many years, which was eventually done by director Just Jaeckin in 1975 as Histoire d'O, produced by Eric Rochat and Gérard Lorin, starring Corinne Cléry and Udo Kier. The music of the film was performed by Pierre Bachelet and released as an album. This single features two tracks from that album, most importantly the main theme of the film, which is a beautiful melody.
