Mistress Secretary - beautiful but covered in honey

About This Movie

Mistress Secretary - beautiful but covered in honey (2002) is quite the peculiar piece. It mixes corporate ruthlessness with a bizarre twist, as you’ve got this advisor, Ken, leaning heavily into a power trip reminiscent of notorious historical figures, and then there’s Miri, his Kempo-practicing secretary/mistress, who really brings an unexpected layer to the narrative. The film’s atmosphere is almost surreal, given the odd juxtaposition of corporate drama and martial arts. It’s not particularly polished, but it has that raw, off-kilter energy that can draw you in or push you away. Still, it’s the eccentric performances that really stand out and make this one noteworthy, if not slightly baffling.

This film is somewhat of a rarity, often overlooked but has a niche appeal for collectors who appreciate the bizarre and unconventional. It has seen limited releases, primarily on DVD, and its availability can be sporadic, making it an interesting addition for those into oddball cinema. The cult following it has garnered over the years hints at a growing interest, especially among those who enjoy unique storytelling and offbeat characters.
