About Private Collections
For legendary producer Pierre Braunberger (Shoot the Piano Player) it was the most enticing of challenges: Invite the three most controversial directors in modern erotic cinema to indulge their fantasies in one daring film. The result remains one of the most uniquely sensual motion pictures of our time.In the first story from director Just Jaeckin a castaway sailor is rescued by a tribe of succulent native women led by the stunning Laura Gemser of Black Emmanuelle fame who soon reveal their most unusual appetites. Then director Shuji Terayama explores the haunting tale of a Japanese boy seduced by the riddle song of a village madwoman. And in the bold adaptation of a short story by De Maupassant director Walerian Borowczyk reveals the torrid liaison between a Parisian gentleman a Follie Bergere prostitute and an unexpected surprise that hides in the night.System Requirements:Run Time: 103 minsFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: MATURE/ADULT Rating: NR UPC: 891635001117 Manufacturer No: 1107 Product Description

(4 reviews) |  | Sexy? Not really... |  |
The first story is by Just Jaeckin about a ship wrecked sailor which has an ending that was easy to see from a mile away. So that was boring and not really sexy. True, lots of nudity, but so what?
The second story is a tad more interesting. A Japanese director, Shuji Terayama, tells the story of a man searching for the words of a song he heard as a kid. A tad confusing, but kind of like a riddle that haunts you even while you try to forget it. Sexy? Well, once again there is nudity and suggestions of incest, but to call is erotica is still using a term that is too strong in this case.
Then the third film, by Walerian Borowczyk, was a boring story based on a short story that, for all I know, was just as boring. While the ending was depressing it wasn't all that surprising.
So there you have it. Lots of nudity, two duds and an interesting short story. Worth buying? You be the judge. Extras include talent bios and an interview with Just Jaeckin.

Terrible "acting" combined with "Who cares" nudity as well as total lack of screen writing skills May 6, 2007
