1989139236France: Eve Productions 1989. Original French grande poster for the 1989 release of the 1970 US film. Scarce. <br/><br/>A small-town border sheriff and marijuana smuggler sets out to kill a rival drug dealer while his girlfriend has a dalliance with another woman. The first Meyer film to feature full frontal male nudity a rarity even in sexploitation films at the time and quite the introduction to soon-to-be Meyer's regular Charles Napier. <br/><br/>Meyer shot several new sequences late in production about a quarter of the film's runtime either to replace footage lost by a photo lab or because an actress left the shoot early the reason is disputed. The new sequences unrelated to the original ones give the film an almost surreal quality leading Roger Ebert to call it "possibly the only narrative film ever made without a narrative."<br/><br/>The film was one of the most successful of Meyer's career leading him to return to and refine this style in subsequent films peaking with Beneath the Valley of the Ultra-Vixens in 1979.<br/><br/>47 x 63 inches folded as issued.

1976151965Paris: President Films 1976. Vintage borderless reference photograph of Jane Birkin from the 1976 film. "Societe Nationale" stamp on verso. <br/><br/>Waitress Johnny works and lives in a truck stop lonely and longing for love. She develops a crush on the garbage truck driver Krassky although her sleazy boss Boris warns her that Krassky is gay. Krassky likes Johnny too perhaps because of her boyish physique. But both of them fail to notice the growing jealousy of Krassky's boyfriend Padovan and trouble sets in. <br/><br/>Billy Stevenson of notes in the "A Film Canon" blog: "Serge Gainsbourg directed this film based on his iconic song and it plays as an extended gloss on that song an attempt to visualize what was happening during those infamous sighs and pants . It is a testament to Gainsbourg's commitment to the song and his own status as sexual outlaw that he presents us with a film that's just as confronting and titillating some 30 years later. <br/><br/>"Set against a drifting rambling desert backdrop part New Wave part New Hollywood. Johnny and Krassky's attraction is sexually charged and yet it doesn't seem to conform to their sexual proclivities.with an audioverite that makes you wonder whether these scenes might actually involve real sex. In its yearning to experience sex in every conceivable way-as a gay man as a lesbian as a man as a woman as pleasure as pain-the film ends up virtualizing it or at least generalizing it into an undifferentiated sexual access that feels quite incorporeal a clear forerunner to both the Cinema du Look and art porn movements."<br/><br/>6.5 x 9 inches.
