Q

UK: Passed 18 uncut for strong real sex for:

• 2015 Axiom Films RB Blu-ray at UK Amazon released on 16th November 2015

Summary Review: Sexy and erotic, fun and moving

In a social context deteriorated by a countrywide economic crisis, the life of several people will be turned upside down after they meet Cecile, a character who symbolizes desire.

Beautiful scenery, quaint little French cafes, beautiful countryside. HOWEVER, the movie takes a twist and turn and the explicit sex scenes are what we would see in a pornographic movie. They don't really add much to the context of the story but the main character will excite some.

This really does what it sets out to do, ie it is sexy and erotic, fun and moving. it all works so well because Deborah Revy is magically flirtatious and manages to change the lives of all around her. Brilliant.

Reviews

• See review from dvdtalk.com : " Immoral Tales is inventive, experimental, sometimes funny, and certainly artistically interesting... but it's also dirty as hell "
• See review from  mcbastardsmausoleum.blogspot.co.uk : " Each segment offering some form of taboo or deviant behavior that wouldn't be out of place in a standard slice of exploitation cinema "

Promotional Material

Walerian Borowczyk s first erotic feature, Immoral Tales tells four stories, each delving back further in time, as if to suggest that the same issues recur constantly throughout human civilization, whether involving notorious historical figures like Lucrezia Borgia and Erzsébet Báthory, or present-day teenagers.

Immoral Tales would transform Borowczyk s image from brilliant but obscure avant-garde artist to one of Europe s most confrontational on controversial filmmakers.
