Reviews
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED –Blu-ray.com
“The four movies found in this excellently curated and presented collection are ambitious, frustrating, provocative, uncompromising and intriguing, but rarely less than entertaining, and reward repeated viewings thanks to their underlying themes and sly commentary on sex on morals.” –WEARECULT
“If you’re a fan of vintage Hitch, New Wave hits like Blow Up, early Dario Argento, and again, early De Palma, Obsessions is an essential discovery.” –Comingsoon.net
“Frank & Eva is an entertaining piece of early seventies European sexploitation that offers a nice mix of drama to accompany its more risque elements.” –Rockshockpop.com
“Blue Movie, while sexually frank in both its depictions and its free love themes, is far from a mindless erotic free-for-all.” –Zekefilm.org
My Nights with Susan, Sandra, Olga & Julie is a very wild ride with a mixture of horror, suspense and eroticism that should have gotten a more significant international release than it received” –Mondodigital.com
