SECRET THINGS is the story of two gorgeous young women who discover the power of sex as a tool to climb the social and professional ladder. Sandrine and Natalie work at a strip club; Natalie performs an erotic act on stage while Sandrine serves drinks. After they both get fired, the two become roommates and Natalie begins training Sandrine in the art of seduction. Erotic lessons on how to pleasure oneself and others, how to seduce and not be seduced, public nudity and the art of the fake orgasm are all part of their plan to take on the world of men. After landing jobs at the bank and "working" their way up the ladder, these femme fatales don't bargain for the ultimate cruelty and power of their prey. However, the girls soon meet their match in Christophe, the ruthless son of the bank's president. (official distributor synopsis)

Excellent actors and a lot of apt truths on the issue of man & woman that aren’t often spoken out loud. But as a whole... ugh! If Jean-Claude Brisseau seriously meant this, he needs to wake up and realise it’s 2003. And if he meant it ironically, he completely undermined the resonance and seriousness of an otherwise promising, very topical subject. The film is thus somewhat reminiscent of Eyes Wide Shut. But Stanley Kubrick didn’t leave me in doubt for even a second, left me breathless for the duration of his film and took me to the moon.
