Jose Benazeraf: The Forbidden Films (BLU-RAY)

A unique figure in the history of French cult film, José Bénazéraf came from the nouvelle vague but focused his interests in eroticism rather than politics, while still creating work which was as socially relevant as it was sexually provocative. A pioneer in fighting censorship of nudity and sexuality in French cinema, Bénazéraf was also amongst the first directors to make movies with hard-X scenes, both helping to invent and subvert the expectations of the genre. Now, for the first time, you can experience six rare and even lost films from Bénazéraf’s most controversial period, all newly scanned from the original negatives.
