Story of O

Story of O, based on the hugely successful S&M novel by Pauline Reage, tells the story of a beautiful young woman known only as ‘O’ who is taken by her boyfriend René to a chateau just outside Paris. There ‘O’ is trained in bondage and sexual perversion - in order to prove her love to him she allows herself to be subjected to degradation and abuse. Finally, René discharges a personal debt by transferring possession of ‘O’ to his stepbrother, Sir Stephen. Produced in 1975, Just Jaeckin, the director (Emmanuelle) explores the cruel world in which ‘O’ finds herself. A world of sadomasochism and bizarre sexual practices.

Story of O: Untold Pleasures

O is a talented photographer in her late twenties, torn between the financial realities of work and her own artistic aims. Encouraged by boyfriend Rene, O decides she should pursue her dream to complete a book of avant-garde images and put aside the worries of a professional career. In the hope of enabling O to focus on her book, Rene introduces her to a mysterious benefactor, the wealthy and powerful Stephen. Under his guidance, O is free to explore her own art, and slowly unlocks the pleasures and pain of Stephen’s secret desires. This is the English language remake of the classic French tale of lust and adventure that was banned for over 20 years in the UK.

From the publisher’s description:

Whether defined by the comic excesses of Spanish director Alex de la Iglesia, the cult horrors of Black Emanuelle and the Italian ‘Nunspoitation’ movie, or the surreal vampire experimentations of Jean Rollin, trash and exploitation cinema represents the alternative face of European film. Although extremely popular with post-war audiences, these historically significant traditions of ‘Eurotrash’ have often been ridiculed or ignored by an established film criticism eager to define ‘legitimate’ European cinema as either avant-garde or socially realist.

Alternative Europe: Eurotrash and Exploitation Cinema Since 1945 investigates these previously under-explored national traditions of film culture, with essays and festival reports uncovering the social and cultural trends and tensions within a wide range of European exploitation movies. The volume considers such engaging and challenging topics as Russian, Belgian and Italian horror cinema, Gothic musclemen movies, Nazi ’sexploitation’ cycles, German erotic cinema and 1970s European ‘rogue cop’ thrillers. Alternative Europe also includes interviews with trash directors and icons such as Brian Yuzna, Jörg Buttgereit and Giovanni Lombardo Radice.

The complete, uncut, original Japanese Godzilla (Gojira) was released in UK cinemas for the first time in October 2005. Now it’s out on DVD

An enormous hit for the Toho film studio, the original film created a legendary monster that would enter the lexicon of popular culture worldwide, spawning more than twenty sequels over fifty years, countless rip-offs, and a new genre: the kaiju eiga or Japanese monster movie. Still rated amongst the top twenty Japanese movies of all time, the original Godzilla is perhaps the definitive monster movie - both a bold metaphor for the atomic age and a thrilling tour de force of pioneering special effects.

According to the BFI:

Vibrant and bursting with action, The Mysterians is an arresting vision of futuristic warfare and a cautionary tale for the atomic age. A treat not only for robot fanatics and cult sci-fi film fans, The Mysterians is one of Ishiro Honda’s most celebrated and spectacular extravaganzas, not to be missed.

And now it’s out on DVD.
