Description

The textbook example of Nazisploitation, and a cornerstone of the 1970s sexploitation cinema, Ilsa, She Wolf of the SS dramatizes the atrocities performed by a sadistic commandant (Dyanne Thorne) at a German concentration camp. Ilsa uses male prisoners as sexual playthings and women as subjects of medical torture, then brutally executes all who fail to satisfy her unholy desires. Despite being condemned by film critic Gene Siskel as the most degenerate picture I have seen... a textbook for rapists and mutilation freaks, Don Edmonds's orgy of violence became a runaway success, immortalizing Thorne as a grindhouse goddess and inspiring three sequels and a host of imitations, none of which could rival the shocking depravity of the original.

For his first studio picture, filth maestro John Waters took advantage of his biggest budget yet to allow his muse Divine to sink his teeth into a role unlike any he had played before: Baltimore housewife Francine Fishpaw, a heroine worthy of a Douglas Sirk melodrama.

A singular artist and activist, Godfrey Reggio is best known for the galvanizing films of The Qatsi Trilogy. Astonishingly photographed, and featuring unforgettable, cascading scores by Philip Glass, these are immersive sensory experiences that meditate on the havoc humankind’s obsession with technological advancement has wreaked on our world. From 1983’s Koyaanisqatsi to 1988’s Powaqqatsi to 2002’s Naqoyqatsi, Reggio takes us on a journey from the ancient to the contemporary, from nature to industry, exploring life out of balance, in transformation, and as war, all the while keeping our eyes wide with wonder. DIRECTOR-APPROVED THREE-BLU-RAY SPECIAL EDITION FEATURES New, restored digital transfers of all three films, approved by director Godfrey Reggio, with 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio soundtracks Essence of Life, an interview program with Reggio and composer Philip Glass on Koyaanisqatsi New interview with cinematographer Ron Fricke about Koyaanisqatsi Television spots and a new interview with Reggio relating to his 1970s multimedia privacy campaign in New Mexico Early forty-minute demo version of Koyaanisqatsi with a partial scratch soundtrack featuring poet Allen Ginsberg, along with a new introduction by Reggio New interview with Reggio about Koyaanisqatsi’s original visual concept, with behind-the-scenes footage Impact of Progress, an interview program with Reggio and Glass on their collaboration Inspiration and Ideas, a new interview with Reggio about his greatest influences and teachers Public television interview with Reggio from 1989 about the trilogy Anima Mundi (1992), Reggio’s twenty-eight-minute montage of footage of over seventy animal species, scored by Glass New video afterword by Reggio on the trilogy The Making of “Naqoyqatsi,” a brief documentary featuring interviews with the production crew Panel discussion on Naqoyqatsi from 2003, with Reggio, Glass, editor Jon Kane, and music critic John Rockwell Interview with Glass and cellist Yo-Yo Ma Trailers PLUS: A booklet featuring new essays by film scholar Scott MacDonald, Rockwell, and author and environmentalist Bill McKibben KOYAANISQATSI An unconventional work in every way, Godfrey Reggio’s Koyaanisqatsi was nevertheless a sensation when it was released in 1983. This first work of The Qatsi Trilogy wordlessly surveys the rapidly changing environments of the Northern Hemisphere, in an astonishing collage created by the director, cinematographer Ron Fricke, and composer Philip Glass. It shuttles viewers from one jaw-dropping vision to the next, moving from images of untouched nature to others depicting human beings’ increasing dependence on technology Koyaanisqatsi’s heterodox methods (including hypnotic time-lapse photography) make it a look at our world from a truly unique angle. POWAQQATSI Five years after Godfrey Reggio stunned audiences with Koyaanisqatsi, he again joined forces with composer Philip Glass and other collaborators for a second chapter. Here, Reggio turns his sights on third-world nations in the Southern Hemisphere. Forgoing the sped-up aesthetic of the first film, Powaqqatsi employs a meditative slow motion in order to reveal the beauty of the traditional ways of life in those parts of the planet, and to show how cultures there are being eroded as their environments are taken over by industry. This is the most intensely spiritual segment of Reggio’s philosophical and visually remarkable Qatsi Trilogy. NAQOYQATSI Godfrey Reggio takes on the digital revolution in the final chapter of his Qatsi Trilogy. Through a variety of cinematic techniques, including slow motion, time-lapse, computer- generated imagery, and found footage, the film tells of a world that has completed the transition from the natural to the artificial. Globalization has been accomplished, all of our interactions are technologically mediated, and all images are manipulated. From this (virtual) reality, Reggio sculpts a frenetic yet ruminative portrait of an era in which the cacophony of “communication” has rendered humankind effectively postlanguage.

No films better represent the 1970s midnight movie phenomenon as Reefer Madness and Sex Madness: two finger-wagging camp classics that hysterically warned the public of the horrors of marijuana and syphilis. But the more we discover about the exploitation genre, the more we learn the true hep cats were the ones who made the films: ruthless opportunists who produced raunchy, ribald melodramas loaded with sex, drugs, and violence, and enabled them to be shown by wrapping them in a tissue-thin pseudoeducational message. These two essential cult favorites are presented in definitive editions, meticulously restored from 35mm elements. Special Features: -Audio commentary for Reefer Madness by Eric Schaefer, author of Bold! Daring! Shocking True! A History of Exploitation Films, 1919-1959 -Assassin of Youth (abridged version) -High on the Range (1924, excerpt) -Gallery of exploitation trailers, including Reefer Madness, Cocaine Fiends, Marihuana: Weed With Roots in Hell, Narcotic, and more -Radio spots: The Narcotic Story, Reefer Ruin, Metamorphosis and the Weed

THEY GAVE THEIR ALL FOR THE TEAM! Jack Hill spent the seventies specialising in tough female characters. He made movies about girl gangs (Switchblade Sisters) and women in prison (The Big Doll House, The Big Bird Cage), turned Pam Grier a star with Coffy and Foxy Brown, and contributed to the Cheerleaders line of drive-in favourites with The Swinging Cheerleaders. Kate, an undergraduate at Mesa University, goes undercover as a cheerleader for her college newspaper in order to expose ‘female exploitation in contemporary society’. But instead of oppression she finds love, friendship and a bigger fish to fry: corruption in the football team, headed up by the coach and his pals. A favourite of Quentin Tarantino, who screened it at the very first Tarantino Film Fest, The Swinging Cheerleaders features a cast of cult favourites including Colleen Camp (Wayne’s World, Game of Death), Rainbeaux Smith (Caged Heat, The Incredible Melting Man) and future Playmate of the Month Rosanne Katon.

With The Trip, Roger Corman delves deep inside the mind of the artist. TV commercial director Paul Groves (Peter Fonda, The Wild Angels), with both his personal and professional life in crisis due to a crumbling marriage and stagnating career, begins to experiment with LSD to free himself artistically. Paul's trip provides the viewer with psychedelic and hallucinatory moments worthy of Fellini, as an onslaught of strange, beautiful and terrifying images flood Paul's subconscious and leads to a revelatory denouement. Featured in The Trip are Bruce Dern (co-star of the Corman directed The Wild Angels) as John, the self-proclaimed LSD guru who sends Paul on his trip; Susan Strasberg (Psych-Out) as Paul's estranged wife; and Dennis Hopper (Chattahoochee) as a drug-culture everyman. The Trip, written for the screen by Jack Nicholson (Psych-Out, Ironweed) would be one of several collaborations with mentor Roger Corman including The Little Shop of Horrors, The Raven and The Terror.

Throughout the '70s, Italian filmmakers fired a canon of blasphemy to launch what remains the most controversial genre of all. For the first time ever on Blu-ray, these four uncut/uncensored Nunsploitation classics: In Sergio Bergonzelli's CRISTIANA DEVIL NUN (1972), a woman finds pleasures of the flesh in a convent of the damned. Suzy Kendall and Eleonora Giorgi star in Domenico Paolella's historically accurate and wholly amoral STORY OF A CLOISTERED NUN (1973). Sleaze maestro Joe D'Amato combines Sapphic lust, Satanic panic and pure filth for IMAGES IN A CONVENT (1979). And with THE TRUE STORY OF THE NUN OF MONZA (1980), director Bruno Mattei fulfills ungodly vows of graphic sacrilege.
