British distributors 88 Films have provided a promotional trailer and complete details for their upcoming 4K Blu-ray and Blu-ray releases of Mario Gariazzo's Amazonia: The Catherine Miles Story (1985), starring Elvire Audray, Andrea Coppola, Rik Battaglia, Pat Starke, and Will Gonzales. The two releases are scheduled to arrive on the market on September 28.
Description: On the day of her 18th birthday, young Englishwoman Catherine Miles – Elvira Audray (Ironmaster) – and her Brazilian-based parents travel down the mighty Amazon river. But their boat is attacked, her parents murdered and Catherine is carried off by Indians, deep into the savage jungle – and a world few white people have ever seen. This is the story of what she found; not just the primitive violence she abhorred but also the untamed passion...
Made with the anthropological accuracy and commitment to sensitivity you expect from Italian jungle movies (i.e. none at all), Amazonia – sometimes known as White Slave – features head severing, unpleasant ritual punishments and more nudity than is strictly necessary: everything, then, that a fan of the genre could ask for!
Now beautifully restored and presented on gorgeous 4K Blu-ray, 'the green inferno' has never looked so lush – or so dangerous.
