— r/movies
After being released from a psychiatric hospital, Lee Holloway (Maggie Gyllenhaal) takes a job as secretary for the eccentric Mr. Grey (James Spader). It soon becomes clear that both Lee and Mr. Grey have some unconventional ideas about her new role. This 2002 erotic dark comedy premiered at the Sundance Film Festival, where it won a Special Jury Prize for originality. While SECRETARY should not be taken as an instructional video on BDSM consent, it is a surprisingly sweet love story.
About the venue: This screening will be held at the UHeights Center, a community center housed in a 100-year-old former elementary school in the U District.
