The masochist says to the sadist, InchHurt me.Inch The sadist replies, InchNo.Inch Everybody's happy. This strange balance plays heavily into the Steven Shainberg directed SECRETARY, based on a short story by Mary Gaitskill. Lee Holloway (Maggie Gyllenhaal) is a troubled young woman with a secret, destructive addiction fueled by her mother's over protectiveness and her father's alcoholism. Sheltered and wholly dependent on other people, Lee's only form of self expression is in this private, painful habit. That is, until she meets her new boss, the lawyer E. Edward Gray (James Spader), who hires her as his secretary. Director Steven Shainberg Star Maggie Gyllenhaal, James Spader Special Features Widescreen Audio Dolby Digital English Subtitles English, Spanish Running Time 111 minutes.
