Beyond Bizarre, the Life & Art of John Willie

Directed by Charlotte Grondin, Guillaume Pin

An honorable Englishman destined to a military career, John Willie, born John Alexander Scott Coutts, John Willie (1902-1962) will become one of the heralds of fetishist and bondage art. A designer, a photographer and brilliant illustrator, he’s remembered as the guy with the whipped and tied up half naked distraught girls, between glamour and perversion.
