The definitive companion to the hit independent film Secretary, this illustrated, annotated screenplay, also includes an essay by Erin Cressida Wilson and an interview with director. The story of an S&M affair between a man and his mildly deranged secretary, this is a film that uses bold, unflinching humour and a strange yet seductive eroticism to toy with our expectations of love, sexuality and intimacy, while exploring the delicate balance between pain and healing, control and surrender. Strange as it may seem, at its core, Secretary is a powerful love story.
