Draguse

  • Interview (39:21) with actress Monica Swinn explores her early interest in counterculture participation, leading her to time with director Jess Franco and her experiences in erotica, or as she calls it, her "ass films."
  • Interview (11:58) with actress Erika Cool tracks her early years as a model, eventually accepting film roles, including a small part in "Draguse," which helped to establish her name in the world of pornography. It was a label she didn't care for, eventually getting out of the business.
  • Interview (14:10) with production manager Eric de Winter examines the Parisian filmmaking freedoms of the 1970s, including the development of erotic cinema, which "Draguse" helped to popularize.
  • A Trailer has not been included on this release.
Le Bijou D'Amour
  • Bonus Scene (2:02, HD) offers a more hardcore fantasy encounter from "Le Bijou D'Amour."
  • And a Theatrical Trailer (2:02, HD) is included.


Draguse / Le bijou d'amour Blu-ray Movie, Overall Score and Recommendation  4.0 of 5

Vinegar Syndrome delivers excellent A/V with the "Draguse" and "Le Bijou D'Amour" double feature, greatly refreshing these obscure titles for those interested in the idiosyncratic ways of the French film industry during the 1970s.
