1976 · Japan · 71m

A couple who find that killing is the only thing that works, followed all the way down.

1972 · Japan · 89m

Wakamatsu wires the pink film to a detonator and steps back.

1970 · USA/Italy · 88m

The most elegant film ever filed under sexploitation, and the reason Metzger belongs in the canon.

1967 · Japan · 56m

The Richard Speck murders restaged as avant-garde pink film. Wakamatsu's coldest hour.

1969 · Italy · 130m

Dumas restaged in a mod furniture showroom. The best-looking softcore of its year by a mile.

1970 · West Germany · 90m

West Germany's pseudo-documentary sex series. Thirteen entries, vast profits, zero shame.

1974 · Japan · 74m

The film that made Nikkatsu's S&M line a going concern. Rope, and lots of it.

1976 · Canada · 94m

Same Ilsa, new empire. The harem keeps the whip, loses the swastika.

1977 · Italy · 93m

Black Emanuelle wanders into a cannibal picture, and D'Amato lets both halves misbehave.

1976 · France/West Germany · 130m

Nazisploitation with a real budget and Tinto Brass's dirty fingerprints. Ilsa was the knock-off.

1976 · France/Japan · 102m

The art film that shipped its own negatives abroad to beat Japan's censors. Unsimulated, and deadly serious about it.

1974 · France · 95m

The film that made softcore respectable at the box office. Glossy, empty, and enormously profitable.
