Eugenie... The Story Of Her Journey Into Perversion [Blu-ray]

This is a classic slice of exploitation with an added bonus: legendary character Actor Christoper Lee didn't know he was in it! You see, he didn't realize it was a software S&M film based on the writing of the Marquis de Sade...which is discussed in the bonus material...arguably this is Jess Franco's finest film! Here is a look at the movie:[...]

Eugenie released in 1970 is a classic erotic thriller from director Jess Franco remastered and in HD picture and sound on Blu-ray👍👍7/10

Product is in good shape box not broken

The problem I have with Franco films is this: they're full of beautiful naked women that really don't do much but lounge around. An erotic film should have something remotely akin to a sexual encounter. Even in 1969 they could do that, especially in Europe. Well, there is some minor lesbianism in a scene or 2, but....I'm not going to get into plot details because few people in this film's crowd are interested in sitting through this to critique the plot. If it's truly based on a De Sade work then great, but from my experience a De Sade tale honestly transferred to film would in reality be nothing less than XXX rated (and in some cases a snuff film). So clearly there are elements missing from this flick in the translation from book to movie, as it's not pornographic. Just a PSA to De Sade literary fans.Franco--with his total of 3 movies bearing the "Eugenie" title--gives De Sade a bad name, believe it or not. The books are much better, and not as tame as Franco makes them out to be.However, compared to his contemporary Jean Rollin (who was comfortable making the occasional porn film, as it happens), Franco certainly had decent budgets to work with and clearly used them well. He gets sexy actresses, and nice movie sets which fit the story. His direction isn't pedestrian, but he must have skipped school on the day that really important filming techniques were discussed, such as keeping the audience engrossed with the characters. So he decided to make up for that by parading nude women around, and I will definitely not complain! It's always a plus when a film has nudity with a purpose, and I think Jess Franco typically manages to provide that purpose."Justine" is probably the highlight of his career, but this particular Eugenie film, overall, is actually pretty entertaining. Not something you'd want to watch again and again, but one that you'll find yourself wanting to pull out of the shelf on occasion.

Arrived on time, and made me want to take a brain shower after watching it.

Exploitation in a combo (bluray and dvd) for a low cost. could not go wrong on this.

Grainy and not well made

Great movie.
