Shibari Bondage Revisits the Mainstream

Here's a shot of Olga Kurylenko sexing it up while in shibari bondage in the French film, "Le Serpent." I'm thinking the titular serpent is a species of trouser snake, and Kurylenko's character, from the look of things, has become its slave. Here's a link to more and larger pics from the movie.

Olga Kurylenko, who's recently gotten a lot of press for being selected as a "Bond girl" for an upcoming James Bond movie, has also made another achievement. Kurylenko is the only actress in a mainstream film to follow the trail blazed by Tina Aumont in Lifespan where Aumont was the first actress to appear in shibari bondage for the first time in the history of mainstream movies. It has been over 30 years since that achievement, and Kurylenko is the first to appear in shibari bondage in a mainstream film since then. Interestingly, both movies are European in origin. When will the US realize it is losing the shibari bondage race, and losing it badly? Can a "shibari bondage gap" be far behind?
