Kino Lorber have dated and detailed two upcoming Blu-ray releases of classic films starring Catherine Deneuve: Jean Aurel's Manon 70 (1968) and Robin Davis's Shock (1982). The two releases are scheduled to arrive on the market on August 11.
Manon 70
Description: Catherine Deneuve (Belle de jour) shines in the immortal story of beautiful Manon, who—although she loves the tolerant François (Sami Frey, Bande à part)—takes many lovers to satisfy her thirst for luxury. Alternately titled The French Mistress, Manon 70 updates Prévost's 18th-century novel through the lens of 1960s materialism and sexual liberation. This modern-day Manon navigates the conflict between desire and morality across fashionable Paris and La Côte d'Azur.
Featuring stylish direction by Jean Aurel (Les femmes) and an international cast with Jean-Claude Brialy (The Bride Wore Black), Robert Webber (Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia) and Elsa Martinelli (The 10th Victim) joining Deneuve at the height of her New Wave allure. Original music by icon Serge Gainsbourg (Je t'aime moi non plus) is the icing on the cake. Special Features and Technical Specs:
Description: Cinema icons Alain Delon and Catherine Deneuve star in Le choc ("The Shock"), a slick crime thriller based on the novel The Prone Gunman by Jean-Patrick Manchette (Three Men to Kill). After years of faithful service, Parisian hitman Martin "Christian" Terrier (Delon, Le samouraï) retires for a quiet life in the country, where he falls in love with beautiful Claire (Deneuve, Belle de jour). But the boss of his former organization is not pleased with his decision. Terrier returns to the city only to find that blackmailers have stolen his nest-egg and given him an ultimatum: do one last job and he gets his money and his freedom. With icy eyes and smoldering charisma, Delon and Deneuve make a shockingly sexy pair in this electric '80s noir. Also featuring Stéphane Audran (Les biches).
