Secretary (Movie)

Secretary is a 2002 black comedy film, directed by Steven Shainberg and starring Maggie Gyllenhaal and James Spader.

Plot

Lee Holloway (Gyllenhaal) has recently been released from a mental institution after her penchant for self-mutilation resulted in a near-fatal injury. Determined to adjust to society, she learns to type and is hired as secretary to attorney E. Edward Grey (Spader). Grey's disdainful attitude toward his employee turns out to be a boon to both of them, as what initially was a rather strained professional relationship becomes both closer and more personal as it progressively takes on greater BDSM elements. Tagline: Assume the position.
