Diary Of A Desperate Housewife!
Cecilia, a haughty aristocrat who enjoys taunting her servants with her flawless physique, finds her life turned upside down when she is
violated by the victims of her vicious games. This eye-opening experience leads the newly enlightened libertine into a sordid series of swingin socialite soirees, mind-bending bohemian happenings, and brazen backwoods orgies. But when her loving husband
also embraces this omnisexual lifestyle, and her amorous antics arouse violence in her sadistic suitors, can Cecilia escape the cruel consequences of her own erotic excess?
Also known as SEXUAL ABERRATIONS OF A HOUSEWIFE, this extraordinarily rare
entry in the exotic oeuvre of Jess Franco (VENUS IN FURS, SUCCUBUS) features the fabulous Muriel Montosse (THE INCONFESSABLE ORGIES OF EMMANUELLE) at the mercy of Olivier Mathot (CANNIBALS), Pierre Taylou (EXORCISM), Antonio Mayans

P.O. BOX TINTO BRASS plus IsTintoBrass - in a 2-Disc Limited Edition, plus a 48-pg photo book.,
Italian director Tinto Brass is known as the absolute master of erotica,
creator of works such as ALL LADIES DO IT, FRIVOLOUS LOLA and PAPRIKA. His gift of perfectly portraying the beauty of the female body has made him celebrated by both men and women. And it is precisely the latter category that sends him boxes full of fan
letters.
P.O. BOX TINTO BRASS is a collection of those letters, photos and videos of female sexual fantasies. This erotic comedy by the Maestro himself, with a score by Riz Ortolani, contains a succession of exciting, downright sensational and
sometimes even shocking material. Previously unreleased in the US, Cult Epics presents the uncut version in a 4K transfer. This 2-Disc Limited Edition of 2000 Copies include a 48-page photo book of unpublished images from the Tinto Brass Archives by
right-hand set photographer Gianfranco Salis, plus the exclusive documentary ISTINTOBRASS.
In this documentary Tinto Brass talks candidly about his life and long career, from his earliest anarchistic, innovative and experimental arthouse films
(WHOEVER WORKS IS LOST, THE HOWL, ATTRACTION), to the decidedly derriere-obsessed fetishism of his later work. Starting as an assistant to Roberto Rossellini, Henri Langlois and Joris Ivens, he soon found himself at the very beginning of the Nouvelle
Vague, discussing cinema with auteurs such as Bresson, Godard, and Truffaut. The biography brings to light an almost forgotten chapter of cinema history, thanks to the analyses of Marco Muller and Gianni Canova, who trace its beginnings on through
Brass's films on power, such as the Nazi-brothel melodrama of SALON KITTY and the infamous and enormously successful CALIGULA. To this day, Tinto Brass remains an icon of erotic pleasure and voyeurism, and his story is revealed here in the tales of Gigi
Proietti, Serena Grandi, Helen Mirren, Franco Nero and Sir Ken Adam, among others.
SPECIAL FEATURES:
Limited Edition collectible slipcase and reversible sleeve (in clear case). 48-Page Photo Book featuring the films of Tinto

An homage in equal parts to Frankenstein, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, and the erotic films of late Italian horror auteur Joe D'Amato, Hyde's Secret Nightmare is itself a wild erotic horror
film from the highly prolific Italian producer/director Domiziano Cristopharo. The story colourfully strobes through a cinematic landscape of obsession, paranoia, phobia, perversion, and transgression, as Henry, a scientist, attempts to create a cure for
his own impotence, and in doing so enlists the help of his assistant Hans and a necrophiliac gravedigger Abdul to illegally retrieve several corpses for his over-the-top experiments. After testing the experimental serum on himself, the mad doctor finds
himself possessing the body of a woman, Eva Hyde (Roberta Gemma), who becomes engulfed in a world of dark eroticism where sex seems the only way to attain a state of well-being. Bonus features include: Deleted Scenes (30 min. of never before seen

CRIES OF PLEASURE - Director Jess Franco's most erotically daring work.
Obscure even by hardcore Jess Franco fan standards, it remains the legendary writer/director's
most daring work of his early '80s erotic shocker oeuvre. Inspired by Hitchcock's ROPE, Franco utilized long takes, minimal edits and his beloved Lina Romay at her most extreme for this de Sade-induced saga of violence, depravity and psychosexual mayhem
among the amoral elite. Antonio Mayans (aka Robert Foster of DEVIL HUNTER and HOT NIGHTS OF LINDA), Rocío Freixas (THE SINISTER DR. ORLOFF) and Elisa Vela (aka Jasmina Bell of MANSION OF THE LIVING DEAD) co-star in this fascinating Franco rarity from his
Golden Films Internacional period. Now featuring a 4k scan from the original negative and all-new Special Features.
