Story of O
When the film of "The Story of O" was released, "L'Express" magazine ran a feature on the novel and film. This resulted in "L'Express" being picketed by feminists from the group Mouvement de libération des femmes, who found the novel and film objectionable. Journalist François Chalais also criticized "Story of O", claiming the novel glorified violence; he described the novel as "bringing the Gestapo into the boudoir".
