  This extended edition of BABA YAGA ˜REDUX' is published for the first time on Bluray with the previously cut scenes reinserted  especially for Shameless  by the film director himself (the reinserted scenes have also been visually improved for this edition). This extended  ˜redux'  HD release finally does justice to the filmmaker Corrado Farina's unique original vision. Farina's adaptation of the epochmaking 'Valentina' comics by Guido Crepax, whilst keeping the central oneiric sexiness of the heroine's adventures, is cerebral yet sparkling with intelligent gentle irony and sophisticated eroticism. Set against the seismic changes of sexual and societal revolutions of the times, this is High Popfiction meets streamofconsciousness storytelling! Beautiful Valentina is a famous trendy photographer, one night she's nearly run over by an enigmatic older woman, Baba Yaga (Carroll Baker), who it turns out is not only the devil witch... but a sapphic predatory witch who must possess her! Pursued by the sensuous seduction of a now obsessed Baba Yaga, Valentina must either submit to her carnal S&M lust or escape what appears to have become a waking nightmare of perverted realities! The film's mixing comic strips with live action is groundbreaking and influential to this day. Extras: Director's own reedit of film, now with improved visuals Corrado Farina Interview and Introduction Audio Commentary by author, editor & critic Kat Ellinger Fact Track by The Wilson Bros English or Italian audio with subtitles Two Guido Crepax documentaries by Corrado Farina: COMICSTRIP FREUD & COMICSTRIP PHOBIA

  The S&M Classic Restored Re-graded Re-edited and Re-Imagined The line between perverted dreams and fevered reality are torn apart as a beautiful witch (Carrol Baker) gets her sapphic claws into a beautiful young photographer in this rampant adaptation of the classic Guido Crepax comic-book. Now 35 years after original release director Corrado Farina has re-edited his film to bring us for the first time his vision as he would really have liked it seen. Restored Re-graded re-edited and re-imagined this is Baba Yaga: Reloaded! When the beautiful Vallentia spurns the advances of the enigmatic witch a curse is put on her camera and all those who pose for her are damned. Pursued by the sensuous seduction of Baba Yaga at every turn she must either submit to her S&M desires or confront the repressed lesbian feelings buried deep within. Carnal lust explodes as she must choose between external decadence and staid reality with her very soul at stake as witchcraft casts its spell. Combining the haunting atmosphere of Polanski with the sexual styling of Argento on Crystal Meth it's all here: gorgeous lesbians Nazi fantasies and even sinister sewing machines! Baba Yaga is 70's Euro-sleaze at its very best showcasing stunning cinematography and is a must for everyone let down by the distinctly prudish Barbarella when it comes to erotic Euro-comics.
