Unashamed: A Romance / Elysia Blu-ray Movie
Forbidden Fruit: The Golden Age of the Exploitation Picture, Vol. 3
Kino Lorber | 1933-1938 | 2 Movies | 111 min | Unrated | Feb 25, 2020 | Neil Lumbard
In an unusual reversal of the usual exploitation formula—in which scenes of sex, violence, and drug abuse were wrapped in a dire warning of moral degradation—the nudist film took a more positive approach to its subject matter. Arguing for the health benefits of sunlight and the detrimental effects of constrictive clothing, films such as Unashamed: A Romance and Elysia (Valley of the Nude) presented nudism as a positive lifestyle choice, and proved their point with only slightly unobstructed views of naked flesh. But more surprising than the nudity is that Unashamed reveals itself to be a remarkably poignant drama about the unrequited love between a mixed-race woman (Rae Kidd) and her employer (Robert Stanley).
