Depraved British director Tanya Hyde whisks us back to Edwardian England for a three-way involving a paralyzed safari-going lord, his African manservant, and juicy maid Anissa Kate.
What is great fun about this scene from Hyde's "Den of Depravity" is a fetishy cast of characters not often seen on these shores, even in "Downton Abbey."
Against a well-appointed (and credible) backdrop of prams and manor house tchotchkes that Ms. Kate dutifully dusts, and backed with an intriguing soundtrack that sounds like a techno version of a silent film, the "Master And Servant" scene fills us with longing for that simpler pre-war time.
It is as if each character is secure enough in the rigid class structure to be comfortable transcending it.
"The phone is dusty," cries the pith-helmeted, wheelchair-bound lord. "Where is the maid?"
Well, the maid has just been finger-banged by the straight-haired manservant, so she is all ready to be placed over the useless knees of the master of the house. But wait! Perhaps the green and pleasant land of her ass poking up there gives him the strength to stand!
He does, and generously shares her with the butler, thus proving once again that ass knows no class.
