U.S. label Cult Epics officially announced today that it will bring to Blu-ray Dutch director Wim Verstappen's cult film Blue Movie (1971), starring Hugo Metsers, Helmert Woudenberg, Bruni Heinke, Ine Veen, and Ursula Blauth. The release is expected to arrive on the market early next year.
UPDATE: Complete bonus features and technical specs are now listed below. Additional promotional stills from the studio have been included as well.
During the summer, Blue Movie was screened at the Cinematheque Francais' Dutch Sex Wave in the City of Light special event, which was organized in cooperation with the Dutch Embassy in France and EYE Film Museum. See promotional trailer for the event below.
Official synopsis: After five years in prison, an ex-con returns to a society where total sexual freedom is now the norm. Michael (Frank & Eva's Hugo Metsers) yearns for sex, and becomes fascinated by the amorous life of an attractive woman next door (Business Is Business's Carry Tefsen), eventually organizing a series of sordid orgies with her and the neighbors...
Blue Movie was the most controversial and talked about Dutch film upon theatrical release -- a sensation that brought millions of visitors to cinemas. Produced by Pim de la Parra (Frank & Eva, Obsessions), and directed by his partner Wim Verstappen, Blue Movie was a breakthrough commercial hit for their company Scorpio Films -- and the start of the Golden Years of Dutch cinema, also known as the "Dutch Sex Wave."
Presented by Cult Epics for first time ever on Blu-ray -- and featuring cinematography by Jan De Bont (Turkish Delight, Private Lessons, Basic Instinct) -- now see for yourself what all the commotion was about!
