• Rosa la rose, fille publique | Blu Ray | (21/07/2025) from £17.99   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £N/A

  On the streets of Paris, Rosa ˜la rose' (Marianne Basler, Va savoir) is the belle of Les Halles. With no shortage of clients, she is beloved by her fellow working girls and spoiled by her pimp Gilbert (Jean Sorel, Belle de Jour). For her, this is a charmed life - that is until her 20th birthday arrives. Across the floor, she locks eyes with Julien (Pierre Cosso, An American Werewolf in Paris), a blue-collar worker who sees something deeper beyond her fun-loving façade. Almost Shakespearean in its execution, Paul Vecchiali's underseen drama explores class consciousness and female sexuality with startling precision. Anchored by a magnetic central performance from the then 20-year-old Marianne Basler, Rosa la rose, fille publique is a true hidden gem.LIMITED EDITION BLU-RAY SPECIAL FEATURES2K restoration approved by Paul VecchialiUncompressed mono PCM audioInterview with critic David Jenkins (2025)Archival interview with director Paul Vecchiali (1985)Archival interview with actors Marianne Basler and Jean Sorel (1985)Newly improved English subtitle translationReversible sleeve featuring designs based on original promotional materialsLimited edition booklet featuring archival and new writing by Marina AshiotiLimited edition of 3000 copies, presented in full-height Scanavo packaging with removable OBI strip leaving packaging free of certificates and markings

  Born in Spain, Luis Bunuel is widely credited as the founder of surrealist cinema. This essential collection includes some of his best known work: Diary of a Chambermaid (1964), Belle de Jour (1967), Tristana (1970), The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie (1972) and That Obscure Object of Desire (1977) - as well as equally brilliant but lesser-known films such as The Phantom of Liberty (1974) and The Milky Way (1969). Although he drew memorable performances from iconic actresses of the period such as Catherine Deneuve and Jeanne Moreau, Bunuel generally worked with a favourite group of actors including Michel Piccoli, Pierre Clémenti, Muni and his faithful alter ego Fernando Rey. Enter the surreal world of Bunuel, where an entire dinner party suddenly finds themselves inexplicably unable to leave the room and where the devil, if unable to tempt a saint with a pretty girl, will fly him to a disco. 7 Disc Set That Obscure Object of Desire New Jean-Claude Carriere interview New Aesthetics of the Irrational: ICA Q&A with Jean-Claude Carriere and Diego Bunuel hosted by Tim Robey Interview with Carlos Saura The arbitrariness of desire by Jean-Claude Carriere Lady Doubles - interview with Carole Bouquet and Angela Molina Portrait of an impatient filmmaker, Luis Bunuel - Interview with Pierre Lady and Edmond Richard Belle De Jour - New 50th Anniversary Restoration New Jean-Claude Carriere interview New Masterclass with Diego Bunuel and Jean-Claude Carriere (1 hour+) New Trailer Commentary by professor Peter W.

  When the body of American journalist Gregory Moore (Jean Sorel, Perversion Story) is discovered in the beautiful Malá Strana area of Prague, the body is moved to the morgue for an autopsy. Only thing is, Gregory is still alive and has been paralyzed in a death-like state. As the ultimate deadline draws near, Gregory's mind races to recall why this happened to him and who is behind a spat of kidnappings of gorgeous local women, including his girlfriend Mira (Barbara Bach, The Unseen). Aldo Lado's remarkable film is an atmospheric delight that boasts an incredible score from the maestro himself, Ennio Morricone (The Good, The Bad & The Ugly), and more than deserves it's reputation as one of the finest examples of the giallo genre. 88 Films are proud to present this stone cold classic of Italian cinema, in pristine HD, for the first time in the UK!

• Belle De Jour | DVD | (22/01/2007) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £19.99

  Undoubtedly Luis Bunuel's most accessible film Belle de Jour is an elegant and erotic masterpiece that maintains as hypnotic a grip on modern audiences as it did on its debut 30 years ago. Screen icon Catherine Deneuve (Repulsion) plays Severine the glacially beautiful sexually unfulfilled wife of a surgeon whose blood runs icy with ennui until she takes a day-job in a brothel. There she meets a charismatic but sinister young gangster (Pierre Clmenti) and ignites an obsession that will court peril.

• Belle De Jour 50th Anniversary | Blu Ray | (02/10/2017) from £14.49   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £N/A

  Stunningly restored for the 50th anniversary, BELLE DE JOUR is an elegant and erotic masterpiece and undoubtedly Luis Buñuel's most accessible film. Screen icon Catherine Deneuve plays Séverine, the glacially beautiful, sexually unfulfilled wife of a surgeon, whose blood runs icy with ennui until she takes a day-job in a brothel. There she meets a charismatic but sinister young gangster (Pierre Clémenti), and ignites an obsession that will court peril. Buñuel uses diffused lighting, dark colours, and shadows throughout the film to temper the gravity and emotional impact of each uncomfortable scene. Left to our own imaginative devices, the result is a film that is highly unsettling, perverse, and inevitably tragic. SPECIAL FEATURES: The Last Script A Story of Perversion or Emancipation?

• Belle De Jour/Belle Toujours | DVD | (22/06/2009) from £26.98   |  Saving you £-6.99 (N/A%)   |  RRP £19.99

  Belle De Jour : Undoubtedly Luis Bunuel's most accessible film Belle de Jour is an elegant and erotic masterpiece that maintains as hypnotic a grip on modern audiences as it did on its debut 30 years ago. Screen icon Catherine Deneuve (Repulsion) plays Severine the glacially beautiful sexually unfulfilled wife of a surgeon whose blood runs icy with ennui until she takes a day-job in a brothel. There she meets a charismatic but sinister young gangster (Pierre Cl''menti) and ignites an obsession that will court peril. In Belle Toujours his homage to Luis Bunuel and Jean-Claude Carriere Manoel De Oliveira reunites the leading characters from Bunuel's erotic masterpiece the 1967 classic Belle De Jour. French cinema icon Michel Piccoli returns as Henri Husson - older and wiser but still every bit the sadist libertine who in the original both lusted after and callously taunted Catherine Deneuve's Severine to the very end. What exactly did Husson whisper into the ear of her paraplegic husband? Did he reveal Severine's double life as a high class prostitute? In Belle Toujours Severine is played by Bulle Ogier whom Piccoli's Husson first spots sitting a few rows away from him at a concert in Paris. A cat and mouse game ensures until Husson manages to gain her attention with the intention of revealing the secret that he alone can unfold. After years of lingering torment Severine is finally offered a chance to uncover the truth. As elegant as Severine as playful as Husson Belle Toujours is a lovely meditation about memory the persistence of desire lost opportunities and the power of stories.
