Directed by Monika Treut • 1997 • Germany
Eva Norvind was born Eva Johanne Chegodaieva Sakonskaja in 1944, the daughter of a Russian prince and a Finnish sculptor in Trondheim, Norway. Monika Treut’s DIDN’T DO IT FOR LOVE traces the many stages of her unbelievable life story: her early success as a showgirl in Paris, her transformation into Mexico’s Marilyn Monroe in the 1960s, her subsequent career as a journalist in the 1970s, and her reign as New York’s most famous and business-savvy dominatrix in the 1980s. DIDN’T DO IT FOR LOVE is an odyssey through the wilderness of sexuality, capturing Eva’s search for the wellspring of her obsessive drive to dominate.
