The Lady Kills / Pervertissima

  • Blu-ray
  • PRINCIPAL CAST: Carole Lebel, Claude Beautheac, Paul Descombes, Christian Duc, Charles Martin
  • Directors: Jean Louis Van Belle
  • Product Description
  • THE LADY KILLS and PERVERTISSIMA – A perverse double bill from maverick film maker Jean Louis Van Belle!Remastered, restored and available for the first time on home video anywhere in the world, this new “perverse double bill” from maverick film maker Jean Louis Van Belle contains both the 1972 release PERVERTISSIMA and the 1971 production THE LADY KILLS.

    THE LADY KILLS tells the story of Françoise Frémond, who travels across Europe on an apparently random killing spree, bumping off a series of increasingly odious men. From swinging London to the eternal city of Rome, she leaves a trail of dead bodies and the question – why? A mystery film as only Jean Louis Van Belle could make it, THE LADY KILLS is a blast from start to finish with an amazing soundtrack of gloriously groovy psych-rock.

    PERVERTISSIMA is a bizarre – and possible unique – combination of mondo movie and mad scientist flick. A beautiful woman is hired by a scandal sheet editor to research and write a report on “Love in Paris”. Her quest takes her from a lesbian sauna to a secretive club of masked swingers, via stints as a street walker in a seedy Paris back alley and a strip-tease artist in an upmarket cabaret. Her final outing leads to the clinic of the dangerous Dr. Vilard, who aims to create sex robots out of human flesh, and mate them to create a race of super-humans to take over the world!

    SPECS:
    Widescreen 1.66:1.
    DTS-HD MA 2.0 Stereo.
    Region: All.

    SPECIAL FEATURES:

    Brand new 2k transfers from film negative, digitally restored.
    Who is Jean Louis Van Belle? – documentary.
    Introductions to each film from Writer Christophe Bier.

Each gruesome act of torture and murder that follows is captured up-close, on the killer’s video camera — the blood-soaked footage of a psychopath’s snuff film. As the killer finds himself tormented by increasingly complex feelings towards the sexy women he murders, the lines begin to blur between killer and victim, viewer and viewed, reality and illusion. What is real and what is fake? Nothing is certain until the blood starts to flow.
