Polanski laments leveling of sexes as 'idiotic'
The film stars Polanski's wife, Emmanuelle Seigner, and Mathieu Amalric as an actress and theater director rehearsing an adaptation of Leopold von Sacher-Masoch's 1870 novella, "Venus in Furs."
The film plays with gender roles, and features Seigner as a strong, feminine actress who comes to dominate her director.
