Nucleus Films: The Libertine Blu-ray Detailed

British label Nucleus Films has detailed its upcoming Blu-ray release of Pasquale Festa Campanile's film The Libertine (1968), starring Catherine Spaak, Jean-Louis Trintignant, Gigi Proietti, Fabienne Dali, and Renzo Montagnani. The release will be available for purchase on September 21.

Synopsis: The Libertine is a euro-cult gem, a romantic sex comedy with a light S&M twist. When Mimi (Catherine Spaak, The Cat O Nine Tails) discovers her late husband s secret bachelor pad and sordid past, she sets out on a sexual adventure all of her own. From bored housewife to daring dominatrix, through a series of bold sexual encounters, each one more thrilling than the next, Mimi finds life as a widow much more than she could have ever hoped for. But when she meets Dr. Carlo De Marchi (Jean-Louis Trintignant, The Conformist) she discovers that the road to true love lies in finding a man who will willingly let her ride him around like a horse. Cinematography by Alfio Contini (Il Sorpasso). Soundtrack by Armando Trovajoli (Ugly, Dirty and Bad).
