Hide and Seek (2014) - Joanna Coates
In an isolated English cottage, four young people from London move in together, seeking to challenge social conventions and their own tolerances by engaging in scheduled partner-swapping.
As their inhibitions and past traumas fade, they achieve a unique kind of collective happiness but the durability of their new living arrangement is tested by the arrival of an outsider who fails to get in tune with the foursome's radical spirit.
An inventive and engaging film that uses an elegant, delicate style to gently probe both the protagonists' ideals and our own convictions about love and sex.
A genuinely radical take on current woes and wishes, Hide And Seek takes the glooms of today and transforms them into a beguiling and provocative modern fable....

Perverse Isabelle (1975) - José Bénazéraf
Two crooks flee in a stolen Ford Mustang. they have stolen it from the husband of the girl they rape in the forest. They take her with them to their refuge, a nice modern villa in the countryside. Here, their boss or protector is not so pleased with this girl: this was not planned. But his wife (the one with curly hair) is a lesbian, so she is very pleased with the girl, who has sex with everyone (the two crooks, the boss, his wife, her maid, the girlfriends of the crooks). At the end, the boss hires a killer, who kills the two crooks. And before we reach that scene, there is a long orgy scene with obsessive music, another surprising editing by Bénazéraf

Sex USA (1971) - Gerard Damiano
This documentary-style video captures the porn scene right at its very beginnings. The format is straightforward, with a panel of 'experts' who discuss various issues related to censorship and sex. Their rather dry analysis is then illustrated by a series of searing clips depicting their ideas. And that's where this fllick really takes off. The clips feature some of porn's earliest stars, from shapely Tina Russell to leggy Darby Lloyd Rains. These feverish flower children prove once and for all that there's nothing new under the sun. They do a little bit of everything with sultry smiles on their faces. Fantasy becomes reality in this eye-opening look at hippie-era hi jinx.

What makes LISA so special? Lets distill it. The work is shot on film, so it has that "movie look and feel" to it. It develops the heroine of the movie, Liza Harper, from the start to the end of the film, meaning character development in the plot, (yeah
I know, what a concept, but for current porn this is sorta breaking the edge of the envelope type stuff!...
The sex is heated, some parts very heated. Finally, I'm a fool for women with foreign accents! Liza's french accent, when she speaks slowly, is just wonderful, the few times, she flies off the handle and started to rant and rave, I couldn't understand what she was saying...

Lejonsommar AKA Vibration (1968) - Torbjörn Axelman
“As the 1960s drew to a close, European erotica really had its work cut out for it. In particular, Sweden, the country known for crashing American art houses with racy dramas, found itself competing with other countries like France and Italy to produce the latest scandal du jour. Budgets got bigger, acting got better, and plots became richer as directors tried to push the envelope, and no one benefited from this more than director and distributor Radley Metzger. Vibration (Lejonsommar) was released overseas hot on the heels of Metzger's Therese and Isabelle, also starring the fascinating and talented Essy Persson, and it shows the increasing influence of directors like Ingmar Bergman (who, lest we forget, was also promoted at first in the U.S. more for his flashes of skin than his artistic merit). Arty editing, sun-dappled cinematography, and joyous sexuality are the order of the day here, and Vibration is a breezy reminder of what softcore was like just before Sweden's next big shocker export, I Am Curious (Yellow).

Justine (1979) - Joe D'Amato & Jesus Franco
IMDb:
"Justine" is the re-edited (by Joe D'Amato)1979 re-issue of Jess Franco's apparently never-released 1975 film "De Sade's Juliette". D'Amato gutted about half of Jess' original footage and replaced it with scenes from Franco's films "Midnight Party" and "Shining Sex" and re-dubbed the entire film with new dialog. Why he tampered with Franco's first true hardcore (XXX) film is anybody's guess, but fortunately the end result is still quite good, which is testimony to Franco's talents more than D'Amato's, although D'Amato's adding of the Nico Fidenco soundtrack to the film (replacing the Daniel White original) gives the film an edgy element that other Franco films lack. This film, besides being confused with Franco's 1968 film "Justine" (the one with Romina Power), has apparently been confused here with Claude Pierson's 1975 "Justine De Sade", which stars Alice Arno and is a totally different film in which Franco had no involvement. To further insult Franco and Lina Romay, Alice Arno is given star billing in Franco's "Justine" (the re-edited version), despite the fact that she is not even in the film, and Lina Romay is downgraded to supporting billing, despite the fact that the entire film revolves around her and she is in virtually every scene. Again, this appears to be a total slap in the face to this creative duo -- perhaps the producers were unhappy with Jess and Lina's intent to film a truly interesting adult film as opposed to a frothy one.
Hopla på sengekanten AKA Jumpin' at the Bedside (1976) - John Hilbard

Thundercrack! (1975) - Curt McDowell
Quote:
If you're at all familiar with underground cinema, than you've probably heard tales about this flick for years. But actually seeing the damned thing is a different matter entirely. Crass, sick and hilarious, this no-budget b&w feature is filled with the essence of pure, undiluted cinematic derangement. Like the earliest works of John Waters, it revels in taboo-shattering shocks and an undying love for Hollywood kitsch. Glorious overwritten by George Kuchar, and directed by the late Curt McDowell (who was one of Kuchar's first students), it's a torrent of comically-lit cliches, heated to the point of lurid parody. The time: A dark and stormy night. The setting: An old, secluded mansion--the home of the terrifically obscene Mrs. Gert Hammond (Marion Eaton), who staggers about the place with heavy, mismatched eyebrows and a vomit-caked wig.

La noche de los sexos abiertos (1983) - Jesús Franco
Quote:
The Franco bounty continues with this FULL DVD RIP of one of Jess Franco's most elusive Golden Films productions, made in 1981 between "El Hotel de los Ligues" and "Macumba Sexual." It's so rare, in fact, that no print was available for review at the time the book "Obsession - The Films of Jess Franco" was published, and it's not discussed in Carlos Aguilar's book either.
It's a sequel of sorts to "La Chica de las Bragas Transparentes/Pick-Up Girls" (1980) which introduced Antonio Mayans as private detective Al Crosby, the role he plays here - an inexplicable knock-off of the Al Pereira character that dates back in Franco's work to Eddie Constantine's portrayal in "Attack of the Robots" (1965). There were 17 Golden Films productions made between 1981 and 1985, of which "La Noche de los Sexos Abiertos" was the second. Franco produced these films himself and had final cut on them, which explains why they form such an intense and unapologetically original body of work.

Il frullo del passero AKA The Sparrow's Fluttering (1988) - Gianfranco Mingozzi
Official announce:
Young and beautiful Silvana (Ornella Muti) has reached an impasse in her life after the
death of her lover. She is approached by a friend of the deceased, Gabriele (Philippe
Noiret), who proposes to keep her in luxury at his manor house, as long as she will keep
him company and listen to his stories of past love affairs. Initially, Silvana is not attracted
to the older man, and only reluctantly, and in stages, accepts his strange offer. What
follows is a very different tale of seduction and awakening for Silvana, as Gabriele's tales
impress themselves upon her, and even in a way enter her own life. As much of the film
rests on the verbal stories that Gabriele tell Silvana, a real understanding and
appreciation of the film is of course not possible (for me personally) without an English
translation of the dialogue. However, Muti and Noiret are wonderful to watch, and the film
as such looks good (as photographed by Luigi Verga).

Frauen im Liebeslager AKA Love Camp (1977) (HD) - Jesús Franco
Synopsis
A group of women are kidnapped by guerrillas and forced to serve as prostitutes for them in a jungle brothel. The sadistic female warden decapitates uncooperative girls.
Jess Franco has made some odd exploitation movies in his long and prolific career, and 'Love Camp' is one of his nuttiest. Never one to shy from jumping on a bandwagon, the title of this seems to deliberately evoke the legendary nazisploitation sleazefest 'Love Camp 7', and the plot in some ways is reminiscent of 'Salo', but with a twist. The twist being, that we aren't talking nazis here but revolutionaries. A group of young and beautiful women are kidnapped, taken into the jungle (what country? who knows) , and forced to be sex slaves for "the revolution".
