Kino Lorber have announced that they will release on Blu-ray Walerian Borowczyk's Love Rites (1987), starring Marina Pierro and Mathieu Carrière. The release will be available for purchase on August 31.
Description: Love Rites (Cérémonie d'amour) is cult director Walerian Borowczyk's (The Beast) subversively erotic final feature. He returns with a vengeance to a signature theme—emasculation. Vain clothing buyer Hugo (Mathieu Carrière) meets beautiful Myriam (Marina Pierro) on the subway and pursues her, discovering to his delight that she's a prostitute. The crafty Myriam, of course, has more in mind for their encounter than smug Hugo bargained for. Love Rites turns the sexual tables with perverse exactitude.
