Justine (2016)

Beatriz Rivera: Omphale

Quotes 

• Rosalie : I am going to tell you everything.

  Justine : What?

  Rosalie : [breaking the fourth wall]  The charming girl, speaking with all the candor proper to her age, told me about Monsieur Rodin. Rodin is a scientist, a teacher and he practices medicine. He may be the most accomplished man in France at this time - but his wealth comes from none of these professions.

  [Rosalie draws back a curtain revealing a torture chamber] 

  Justine : I learned from Rosalie on Fridays he carries out punishments from which he derives great pleasure.

  [Rodin strips Omphale naked and binds her wrists] 

  Omphale : I protest to you. I did not...

  Rodin : Of course you did. I saw you.

  [Rodin tugs on the rope, causing Omphale to hang by her wrists] 

  Justine : Rosalie whispered to me these are trifles he invents as a pretext. Omphale is an angel. He only treats her thus because she sometimes resists him.
